Hello I'm Roon from Montreal

I only recently stumbled on the concept of aquaponics when watching some videos on the Internet and decided to try a small simple setup in my small apartment. It also revived my interest in tropical fish which lay dormant for 50 years while I roamed around the world.

Welcome. AP is a good way to save and clean water when keeping fish. The vegies are good also.

So what kind of fish is that?

:lol: .....I remember hearing of some kind of fish in/near Death Valley that show up 'when' it rains...then burys its self in the mud as the water drys up. Somehow they live till the 'next time' it rains..... :lol:

Good catch Emmett... :mrgreen:

Roon........Of course....you ment your 'intrest'....not the 'fish', lay dormant.... :P

[Emmett]

I have a dry wit, it's always nice to have someone get my jokes.

Oh, yeah, hi roon!

Welcome roon!!! Emmet, the sponge filter joke gave me a good chuckle.

Interesting that you should mention mud fish or whatever they are called. some say lung fish I guess. When we were grading a drainage channel for the Golf course of La Toc village hotel in St. Lucia in 1971 we were basically draining a bog and all these eel-like heads started popping out of the mud. They were eel-like and about two feet long and were waiting for it to rain again and fill the bog.

I was an immigrant to six countries outside of Canada in my life so I had little time for aquarium fish. I lived 16 years in the Caribbean and must admit my urge to keep aquariums dims when I can swim with a mask and see all the pretty fish I want. I would have liked to do some outside ponds but it never materialized..... yet.
