Benefits of Aquaponics There are so many different reasons why you should consider aquaponics beyond the simple “cool” factor. It’s much more efficient, for one. An aquaponic system can grow up to 6 times more per square foot than a traditional soil-based growing method. It also uses about 90% less water than growing both fish and plants separately or in a soil based system where water will be lost through the ground. This means it’s also a great system for an area where water is scarce or where you may have frequent hose bans. By eliminating fertilizer products and lowering your water consump ..read more

The Arowana is the world’s most costly aquarium fish. It is a tropical freshwater fish from the brackish swamps of Asia, the river basins of South America, and the pools and billabongs of Austrailia. The Osteoglossidae are the main freshwater fish family found on both sides of the Wallace Line, an imaginary dividing line in the ocean between Asia and Australia that very few freshwater or land species cross. This rare occurrence might be explained by the hypothesis that Asian Arowanas (Scleropages formosus) separated from the Australian varieties (S. jardinii and S. leichardti) around 140 milli ..read more
