So lots to update ... The fish from last breeding attempt , the "fix" of what went wrong and breeding AGAIN... And looking like a lot more successful this time around...😁😁😁😁💃🕺🎉🥳🥳🥳🥰. The greenhouse mesh has arrived in Sierra Leone, outdoor lights and submersible solar pumps. It's all go go go... 😁😁😁 The website is also going well. Lessons will be loading up soon. Thank you guys for being super patient over this period. I've been quiet, but thins are still going on the background. Will be getting broadband installed now that accommodation is more set out here as well .. LEEEETTTSSSSS GOOOOO!!!!

So this network nonsense is persisting on these islands. During the day, coverage is poor to nonexistent and then I get back to the flat and it's hit and miss with the broadband 😞😞. Bare with me guys, I'll get this nut cracked one way or another.....🤔🤔

Hey guys... More set backs afoot. So we learned last time that we needed to suspend the eggs, ✅. We did that. We needed to warm up the water source, ✅ we thought we got it , but crucial mistep was keeping the entire thing constant throughout the night. We didn't put enough measures in place, so back to the drawing board... The eggs are dying... FAST Another lesson hard learned. The eggs did turn on us quite rapidly white this time round(the temperature has gone down significantly already this April, so we knew April was not good for THIS... buuuuut... Stubborn me tried anyways 😂🤣😂😂. This week we set about trying to fix heating up the nursery guys. Anyone have any clever suggestions to heat up water without electricity at night? The Solar will be a few weeks before we can ship them... need to maximise space in container(it's not cheap) So till then......My first thoughts is trying some kind of water heat exchange contraption??? Get some steel drums heat up the water over charcoal and introduce it slowly into the tanks during the night?? Anyone else think of a plan??? Also, we have some pesky fire ants on the rampage making our black soldier fly colony their free buffet. Anyone know of non toxic ways to keep those chaos away? Lets get these fish bred... I'm not taking defeat laying down🤣😂😂😂

A few dozen hardcore babies did survive our mistakes.. they are darting about looking healthy so claiming a WIN ✅😂🤣😂😁😁. Lets keep them alive and grow them out now while we fix the mistakes and try again.. Aaaand the Azolla is recovering well from sun shock this time round. Soooo another mini win✅.. Going to try insulate the breeding house and add charcoal heating bins to increase temperature... And get round to digging in some moats to keep those ants out as well. Thanks for the suggestions guys 🙌🙌👍🎉💃🕺.. Lets GOOOOO!!!

Tanks cleaned and sterilised, The fish have been conditioned the last few weeks now and we are all set to get back to business. 💃🕺💥🔥🎉🥳
