Hi,
A couple of years ago I experimented with Tilapia in the tank
They required much more oxygenation than Goldfish which normally grow effortlessly year round
Also when the water temperature fell to 50 degrees, they died, so the tank does need heating if you are going to try them in cold climates
Haven’t heard too much from other dome owners trying to grow fish
Hi,
I am considering doing aquaponics in a Growing Dome. I am looking into Nelson Pade set ups, and wondering if anyone has tried to combine these two wonderful things – a Growing Dome and a real Aquaponics set up. Their website is “aquaponics.com.
Not heard of anyone doing hydroponics in the Growing Dome, but I agree it would probably fit very well

Great website. Lots of helpful info here.
Any updates from anyone trying to successfully do edible fish in the dome? We just finished a 26′ and would like to give it a shot. There doesn’t seem to be much info out there….why the limited fish options??
Hello Laurel,
I have sent you a few e-mails in response to your question about raising edible fish. People have and do raise edible fish in the Growing Dome with great success. Here is one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iee1516o_NI I would love to chat more about your options with different types of edible freshwater fish and why the options are limited. It all boils down to the specific needs of each species of fish. Each has certain needs that must be met in order to successfully raise them.

Looking forward to talking with you,
