Hi Jonathon, The yabby is Cherax destructor for a reason, it is difficult to prevent them killing each other. Especially when they are soft after they shed their exoskeleton for growth. Tubes are the best way to help but they take up floor space. I glue the tubes together and make yabby condos. If you place small tubes between the bigger tubes it can protect the baby yabbies. 9 tubes makes a cubic condo and takes up little floor space. Cheers Jim
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about aquaponics course try Morundan Total Aquaponics Mastery (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy got amazing success with it.
Nah adding some of fishnet or garlic net near the pipes that functioning as the house for the yabby shall help them from killing each other. Well at least that works for me for Redclaw.
So weird question probably. Does it make sense to grow some for consumig ? Or is it like you can eat some every 9 Months or so ? I'd really like to have consumable crustations in my aquaponic system in the future with a few talapia or what they called. Still new to this, just my kind of Vision, thanks for help in advance !
I am so interested in marron yabbies. They are massive native Australian species which have nice blue colour.

Greetings from the Manitoulin. I am keeping some wild caught crayfish in an aquarium, in hopes of setting up an aquaponics system in the spring. Just subbed to you channel today. Cheers.
Hi Solar Clapson! How are you Crayfish going? Have you designed your Aquaponics setup yet? here is a free guide that will help you: secure.melbourneaquaponics.com.au/build-your-own-aquaponics-system-in-2-hoursd6b8dxf2 Cheers
BlackPage yes. In fact I believe manitoulin island is the largest island in a freshwater body of water in Canada maybe in the world. Great fishing there I went there to a place called whitefish falls many years ago. I am from Canada but not manitoulin island.
Hi Damian, the size of the pipe is dependent on the size of the crustaceans you have in your tank. They can be in the center, I Would recommend using different sizes so that the smaller ones can hide in pipes where the big one can't reach them. for the length I would recommend approximately twice the length of your crustaceans. Cheers
@@AquaponicsRevolution It seems red claw, friend. I keep it in a tank. There are 10 red laws, 6 females and the rest males. But today the females are just 2.
Hallo m8, they are so beautiful wish i could have those one day:)), i have noticed that u have couple time mentioned about problems with limiting numbers u can have on space, im just curious have u seen a video about "multi level beding"? Which wiith your awesome pipe system could change the numbers per sqm rapidly, were u thought of that? Im imagining in your setup stringie leveling with pipes in each level so the food can go through strings to each level could be interesting :) Cheers for the videos :)
Yes it is an option to use this kind of multi level system but for me the aim is to mix them with fish so I want to leave some swimming space around. Have you tried this technique? Cheers
I used to have a pet Crawfish and I was able to tame him so I could hold him and he wouldn't even try to pinch me, he also would take from right from my and. I'm itching to get more.
So do you run soil free? How about biofilters, rainwater check flushed inlet, circulation rate? Algae, phytoplankton, azolla, duckweed? Tilapia, Grass Carp, Red Coris Wrasse, Catfish? I find the right components can bring things closer to self-regulation, wondering what kind of set up you're working with.
Hi Du Fung, that’s a very open question. As you said in your comment: ” I find the right components can bring things closer to self-regulation” the trick is to work with natural cycles and to balance the ecosystem. The greater the biodiversity is and the easier it is. The principle of aquaponics is to work with Fish, Bacteria and Vegetables but in practice the ecosystem is much wider (worms, fungus, insects…). The “soil free” point is very interesting as well. We don’t introduce any soil, only rock media that act as mechanical filter and biofilter, but at the end the biological activity of this media is higher than a classic “soil”. Cheers
It's awesome to eat a few on your plate less waste if you can't eat a huge one just ask for a plate of 10 put in the middle of table for a family to share the main dish some would eat 2 or some might eat 3 or 4 and kids would probably eat 1 as well as you can grow many at a faster turnaround for meat production cool love the video and bigger is not allways better right lol have a great day
Does rubber bands on the pincers prevent cannibalism? And how long can they live with rubber bands on? (I see lobsters in Chinese restaurant aquariums with rubber bands on their pincers.)
Great! Just be careful with the trouts, they don't like warm temperature. I don't know if it will be adapted to QLD... They should be harvested before the water raises above 24C, Why don't you try Jade perch? 😉
Oui je sais pour les truites, je les elevais dans les pyrenees il y as longtemp, les perches on moin bon gout, mais bon ca depend de ce que je les nourris, on vas commencer les Duckweeds et on verras... je te tiens au courant par Email ce serras plus simple.
You are 100 percent wrong in America over 65 percent of the crayfish sold in America are farm raised might want to do more research on the subject in America!!!
Sorry Thomas but you might have misunderstood. by Crayfish I mean saltwater crustacean. And there is no Saltwater crustacean aquaculture. For freshwater crustaceans yes, most of it comes from aquaculture farms. Regarding doing more research on the topic I don't think I could be better informed. I worked in the lobster business (processing plant and stocking ponds) and as an NPD import manager for a seafood broker....
@@AquaponicsRevolution sorry but we were talking about crayfish not lobster big difference!!! Why did you even comment about it when he was obviously talking about crayfish not saltwater lobsters!!!
