This is my first try with them. I got them two weeks ago today at about 2 inches. They are now mostly over 3 inches.

I put some in my aquaponics tank yesterday, with more 4-5 inch bluegill. I've still got some in aquariums, and I've got some in a pond cage. I'm waiting for them to grow out just a little more before putting them in the ponds, so that they don't become snacks for the other pond residents.

My main goal in the ponds is FA and muck cleanup. My secondary goal is seeing how much we can grow the fish and the vegetables in an aquaponics tank. The last goal is to overwinter some so I have a ready supply next spring.
