Zoogleal Mass

Essentially, underwater compost. Consists of vegetative matter and animal manure such as rabbit pellets or chicken droppings.

Microbes and protozoa live there, and turn the mass into a gluey (gleal) mass of lifeforms.

Tilapia will eat this mass, and it is reported that this could provide 100% fish food.

Suggestion on brewing zoogleal mass in buckets - try to brew some slop/mass out of the ponds for the first run and then dollop it in when it is gelatinous to see what the tilapia do. If they love it, then try submerged in the ponds.

Zoogleal Mass 101. We use compost tea and fish water to feed the aquaponic plant towers. But how to feed the fish? Now...
