      Hi Gary, no backup battery mate. It's just a DC setup that only runs during daylight hours. Most of our tanks don't have pumps running, although we are hoping to get more as some tanks are prone to a thin biofilm at times.

It takes me back to my childhoid when i used to go hunting native British Crayfish in local streams. Sadly, theyre a dying breed due to the introduction of American Signal Crayfish.

      Toon, myself & family did our best at trying to reduce the Signal crayfish numbers in the river Lea.
      Crazy numbers.
      Actually, Toon saw a recent Facebook reel of hundreds of Signals escaping in Thailand after flooding. The hunt was on not just for the crayfsh but the breeder, as no one had a license to breed them nearby!

    • @TLFarm
      @TLFarm  Рік тому +1

      We mainly use chopped up fresh glass shrimp that we catch from our outside ponds.
      We supplement their feed with a few BetaGrow floating pellets.
      As long as the water level in your tank isnt too deep the crayfsh can grab them easy enough.
      The pellets sink after a few hours so they all get fed eventually.

    In my country ( the Netherlands ) these crayfish have infested already a big part of the the waterways here .
    As soon as a have some stuff in order a wil try to catch some of them an breed them and eat them .
    Because of some weird people that think that only insects and Lab meat is the way to go in time the normal way of getting good protien is gone so a good alternative is necessary .
    Chickens is ( for now ) possible but they need good feed and how long will that last .
    So grayfish seems to me a good way to go and like several other things i will already buy some air pumps and hopefully a small solarsystem .

The word ''professional'' means that if they catch every grayfisch away they wont make a buck anymore . I think that the common people should get a chance , there are many video's that show how to and every extra catch can be released .
      Indeed i saw some video's of UK infested rivers and streams , some streams dont have any life in it anymore because the grayfisch eat them all . No natural predator and this is what you get .
