We have received a lot of inquiries about using redclaw in aquaponics systems. It’s not something we know much about, so to get some experience we decided to use our waste water from our “out of season spawning tanks” (RAS system) to grow our veggies. (We’ll let you know how we went.)
What has become clear is that craylings are not the best for aquaponics. Craylings thrive in mature earth pond where they have access to natural live foods. To keep them in an artificial environment is challenging until they grow a bit. Aquaponics enthusiasts have had much more success using advanced juveniles that will survive and thrive on just about anything and so we recommend using them instead.

Redclaw are quite hardy and easy to keep.
Oh and don’t mix predatory fish with redclaw!
