Use Native Drum?
Anyone have any experience using native freshwater drum in aquaponics? They have wide natural range in No. America from Gulf to Great Lakes. Might do better in lower temperature water conditions? Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this species?

Bill I would go for it if it was available. It would be a hoot to be able to grow them. Very good eating fish. Keep us posted.

I see no reason not to. They can easily stand low oxy water as well as hot water. When cleaning watch for small bones.

Was there any "habitat" in the tank for it? Rocks, branches, etc.?

yes but a lot going one with 3 redfish and a few outher hyper active fishes. I think drum would work though

I am thinking of two tanks... one with tilapia and one with drum to see which works best for my locale.
