<p>It has been a while since my catfish died and I think it is time for another try. I think this time I am going to try Bluegill. After gathering information from others I think they may be more fitted to my system. I hope to have some in the next day or so.</p>
<p>I took a look at my biofilter today and noticed there are many little snails zipping around eating stuff from the side of the barrel. I guess this is a good thing.</p>

<p>I ordered a new air pump and some air stones in hope to insure plenty of oxygen for the new fish and also to add some oxygen to my biofilter. Hope to do a new video soon.</p>

<p>Steve</p>Lost almost half of my catfish.tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2011-05-10:4778851:BlogPost:1083282011-05-10T00:11:56.000ZSteve Starkhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/SteveStark
<p>I found 1 catfish floating yesterday. I was hoping that would be the only one and my levels would start coming down. Today I found 2 more dead so I tested the water and levels were no better. I started a water change and found several more dead at the water intake and under rocks for a total of about 9 catfish and 1 goldfish. Hopefully the aggressive water change will help things bounce back. Very disappointing but hope the others will survive.</p>
