In 2013 the ASC magazine featured an article written by Adam Cohen on how to choose the right fish for your Aquaponics system. In this article Adam raised 4 questions that every person should ask when purchasing their fish. These are: 1. What is the climate like where you live? 2. What are the regulations regarding fish in your state? 3. What are your goals for your fish? 4. What is the budget available for your system? http://aquaponics- In many cases, people have made costly mistakes with the fish they have chosen for their systems. For example: Choosing fish that are suited to warm climates and introducing them to cold climate areas. The expense of heating the tank to keep the fish alive was reducing the savings being made on growing their own food. It is far better to choose the fish that are native to your area, this way they are already used to the climatic conditions. Look for the species that grow in the lakes and ponds around your area and purchase these for your Aquaponics system. https://www.facebook.com/ You also need to be careful about the regulations in your state. Some fish have been banned in certain states as they are considered a pest. You can be charged and fined if you have these fish in your Aquaponics system. In order to avoid that you can contact a member of the department of fish and game and find out for yourself. It could save you a lot of money, in both loss of fish and the fine you may have to pay. These are two of the top four questions that you need to have answers to before you purchase fish for your system.
