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?

.....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.....

Good catch Emmett...

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!

[stucco]

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.
