Catfish

Yesterday Justin and I visited a catfish farm in Gerber CA.  The owner Don has been raising catfish since 1987 .  When we arrived he was taking Dissolved Oxygen reading of his 16 ponds.   He showed us his operation.  He and his daughter who also raises catfish on her farm sell their product in the bay area.  Don recently attended the aquaponics class in the Virgin Islands and intends to incorporate AP into his aquaculture.

Justin and I are thrilled to have met Don and left with 50 fingerling which we divided.
I places 6 in my warm tank and the rest in my outdoor IBC system.  The little fellers looking happy and are a lot of fun to watch.
