Edge Report post Posted May 25, 2021 The ol lady had a bad accident last fall and she recently went in and had her ankle rebuilt and knee replaced. She had been wanting an aquaponics set up for some time and I surprised her with one when she got home from the hospital. There's several goldfish in the pond and soon we'll introduce talapia. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we transplanted them into the hydroponics and they're looking happy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
