My home made aquaponics systems is almost finished. I have everything adjusted so that it will fill two 100 gallon grow beds with river gravel media in 15 minutes. With that, it's time to get it cycled up so that we can begin growing some veggies and feeding some furtue food (i.e. fish).
Eventually, I plan to raise bluegill or if all else fails - tilapia in the aquaponics system - but for now I've added some "feeder" goldfish. I think they are perfect for beginners to use (like me). They are readily available and priced right - 38 cents from the big box store. That way, if my system gets out of synch, I don't have too much money invested in fish. As the system stabilizes and my experience and comfort levels improve, I'll add some fish for our dinner plates.
To give you an idea ow just how big "feeder" goldfish can grow in an aquaponics system check out this video:
