quite hard. whether male & female will fight to death or breed, then even if they breed, will the eggs hatch... all these hard to control.

in nature they follow seasons, and they will all crowd together one.

Yes

but whole house smelly
Not that bad lah. You need a solid filtration system. Bakki shower style most effective. No smellier than an open sump fish tank. Nitrate control is the hardest for this sort of closed loop system. Algae ball reactor supposed to be best for that.

This for fattening only btw. Don't even bother to think about breeding. The free swimming larva are impossible to separate from RAS water without special filtration.
