Do you know Jade Perch is one of the perfect Aquaponic fish? It has a reputation for being a hardly fish with a terrific side benefit and easy to grow and are suitable species for beginners. An independent study had found that Jade Perch trumped the Atlantic Salmon and sawfish when it came to healthy fish oils. The study revealed Jade Perch to have higher concentrations of Omega 3 fish oils, coming in at 2483mg per 100 grams of fish fillet. Deficiencies in omega 3 fats have been linked to fatigue, poor memory, dry skin, heart problems, mood swings or depression, and poor circulation.
Jade Perch is capable of achieving rapid growth rates on relatively inexpensive diets. It is, therefore, reasonable to assume that this species can be grown at a relatively low cost of production. Furthermore, while Jade Perch does accumulate significant body fat stores, they are well suited to filleting and provide a high recovery rate of flaky, white flesh.
Jade Perch has also proven to be an easy to feed fish. Although their main diet, when grown in tanks, is processed fish pellets comprised of unsustainable sea catch. It is of growing concern to many people to look for alternative solutions to feeding their fish. Jade Perch are omnivorous and will eat all sorts of greens. Throw a slice of lettuce into your fish tank and come back the next day, and all you will find are the stalks and roots. You can feed your Jade Perch alternative forms of feed such as Algae and Duckweed.
Algae and Duckweed are usually found in the ocean, lakes, rivers, stagnant pounds, and streams of slow-moving water anywhere on earth. It can contain up to 43-70% of crude protein, and many people grow it at home in their tanks. All you need is a large tub and some nutrients for the duckweed to feed on to enable it to grow rapidly and multiply. Try not to disturb the water. Using fish water from the aquaponics system is ideal.
Jade Perch love warm waters, and your tank will benefit from the direct sunlight.
Jade perch are generally docile fish, and so they can be mixed with other fish, usually without problems. It shouldn’t be a problem if you mix fish of smaller size, as jade perch doesn’t have any interest in them. They have got a tiny mouth, so they tend not to try and eat other fish.
