Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations planning a PB member Yellow Perch experiment

I still have them tanked up the big perch are about 1.5" now and the smaller are at 1 to 1.25". I guess I must be a fish farmer now because I did kill thousands and thousands but learned so much. There guys are nothing like tropical fish at all. Heat when young is very very bad for these little suckers. The Daphnia update in your other thread is more info.

I currently have a good batch. The biggest expense is the salt for the brine shrimp. Two table spoons every 12 hours for a few months adds up.

All in all because we want a few fish for our green house it will work out. If this second batch makes it, that I think they will now, we will have lots. All in all I think it is much easier to let them hatch in the pond but how many make it depends on what minnows you have in the pond.
