<p>Ok... I'm still a ways out before I'm ready. After joining this forum I have completely redesigned my aquaponics layout thanks to discussions with many skilled aquaponics members. This project is going well but it's much more indepth than I have anticipated. And I want to do it all right the first time so there are minimal casualties. I like to keep my fish alive :)</p>

<p>Maureen, thank you so much for the tour and the fish! I was successful at adjusting the PH levels and they seem to have settled quite well. It was quite fascinating to learn of your operation. Thank you so very much for letting me pick your brain! Your knowledge and expertice will go a long way.</p>
<p>Phil, once my larger pond is up and running I may want to purchase some of your rainbows if you're interested in selling. How much do you charge per fish and how big are they?</p>

<p>Phil, I purchased eyed eggs from Troutlodge in January. I posted videos of the process on my facebook page. (the one I listed in an previous reply) It was a real experience. But I'm sure its old news to you seeing how you have so many rainbows. Had I known that I could have purchased trout from you Phil. I may have saved myself allot of time. Unfortunately I joined this group after I had committed to the charr. I wanted a fish that would do well in cool water. <br></br> Jeremy message me on…</p>

<p>Phil, thank you for your feedback!</p>
<p>Maureen, after researching the conditions that Arctic Charr can live in I should also be good without a chiller. They can live in waters anywhere from 32 degrees to 75 degrees and with my pond being partially doug in I should be able to maintian temeratures similar to yours which is ideal.</p>

<p>I would like to start out with about 12 fish to start with. I know that raising anything from egg or seed brings a sense of accomplishment and one would expect to pay a bit more. I also know that the majority of commercial purchases are quite high due to delivery costs... I don't expect you to deliver to me so that should reduce the overall cost. What do you feel is an appropriate price for a dozen fish?</p>
<p>P.S. It appears that you have an AMAZING set-up in my home town!!! I am definitely looking forward to a future tour :-)</p> Thanks for that information P…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2014-04-16:4778851:Comment:5582472014-04-16T16:06:09.382ZMaureen Hope Wallhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/MaureenHopeWall
<p>Thanks for that information Phil. The fingerlings are about two inches now. I do not use a chiller because of the way I have constructed my system. My water is at 50 degrees now and wont go much above 55 the coldest part of the winter the temp. was 45. I don't know if these fish are compatible I keep koi and gold fish in separate systems.

I feed them four times a day at this point. <br/>
Price- how many do you want? one, two, three? ten? I feel a bit like Phil now. Raising these guys from eggs is really allot of work, time and money. Funny how people shirk from paying for that. Unless its from petco of course. Let me know. <br/>

<p>Hi Phil, I'm sorry but I don't understand your reply. I understand that baby salmon are called fingerlings but I'm confused about the rest of your statement. Please forgive me and elaborate.</p>

<p>I am absolutely interested provided the price is right. At four months how big are they? I am currently expanding my pond to approximately 800 gallons (4' wide x18' long x 1.5' deep).
