Kieflow Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Hello All, I recently acquired a 100 gallon rubbermaid stock tank and want to start up an aquaponics setup on my front porch. I'm searching for fish stocking ideas. I live in the Florida keys so overwintering is not a concern (average temperature at night in January is mid 60s). Thanks!

StevesFishTanks Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I am in the Tampa Bay area. My tub is 90% shaded. I dont have any aquaponics going just fish and some aquarium plants. I have the 110 gallon tuff stuff tub from tractor supply. It is stocked with koi swordtails and shrimp. For filtration I have a couple of the bigger sized sponge filters on a hose from my central air system. My tub sits underneath the output drain for my auto water change system for my indoor tanks.

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Sailfin mollies, Variatus platies, Endlers, swords, guppies, Neocaridina shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Vance32 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Maybe 1 or two albino red eye Plecostomus they are my favorite! And for outdoor ponds hornwort plants look great and a lot of hiding places for the little fish! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieflow Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 I am thinking a fish that is a little on the larger side. Perhaps something that I could only put 3-5 of them in there that my kids would be able to single out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
