 Trying again,

Hello folks,

I had sent a file to this list but cannot seem to find it again in my 

bookmarks. It was the file showing the breakdown of various nutritional 

ingredients of various feedstock, grains etc. anyone got a 

hotlink/bookmark/archive to post it back to me?  It had some 

revolutionary things there such as beans, and pease etc.

Is there anyone as well who has got some practical designs and drawings 

of gasifiers, biogas digestors, ram pumps (made from say PVC fittings,) 

or knows of any such site/ group mailing list?

Thanks,

Sue

Susanne,

    "Tilapia Aquaculture in the Americas", edited by Costa-Pierce and 

our

friend Jim Rakocy, has a chapter on "Tilapia Nutrition, Feeds and 

Feeding"

which provides a good overview of  protein, amino acid, vitamin and 

mineral

requirements of tilapia (

http://ag.ansc.purdue.edu/aquanic/was/books/tilapia.htm ). Another good

source of information is "Nutrition and Feeding of Fish" (1989) by Tom

Lovell which has a chapter on "Practical Feeding - Tilapias".

    On a related note, what kinds of prepared, commercial feeds are 

others

using? I have difficulty finding anything other than catfish pellets 

locally

and I'm looking for sources for better quality feed. I'm interested to 

know

what others use, particularly brands, protein levels and pellet size. 

I've

seen some information which rates Silver Cup and Purina as top brands.

Anyone using Silver Cup or know where it can be ordered?

    I just ordered some Canola (rape) seed which I'll be sprouting for

tilapia feed. I'll let everyone know the results. I've also been feeding

earthworms from my vermicomposter to my tilapia broodstock and breeding

activity seems to have picked up.

                        Don't get too hot down there!

                                                        Gordon

Im really enthralled by the versatility of the duckweed, has anyone ever 

tried pelletizing and sole feeding of duckweed?

(Personal experiences.) Any info on sourcing the machines?

Thanks 

Sue.

A couple of years ago when I was researching marine and fresh water aquaria and

homemade filtering systems I came across this sort of filter several places.

. . not

uncommon in some of the larger public aquariums as I recall, and sometimes

used in

home systems as well--takes lots of light if I recall correctly.  Sorry I

don't have

the links but that was several computers back :-) a little searching should turn

something up though. . . might have been called algae scrubbers. . . .

Good luck,

    David
