I heard (friend-of-friend sort of deal) that someone out Collie way managed it in a back yard pond. Clay lined, loads of mud to burrow into. Imagine that this would be the smallest scale you could do it on.

Hate to see his power bill for heating the thing down there.
I would think to try this in areas where water temp doesn't stay warm enough without heating the cost would outway the benefit. Look at something else to breed maybe king.

I wonder if an existing solar pool heating setup (black tubing on roof) would help with this. Can make a significant diff in winter with pools. Imagine this could be an option.
Still, all sounds too hard. Just breed B/Nose.

right on the money they are bred in large numbers in dams in qld mainly... still almost impossible to sex even at 40-50cm... usual thing is to throw a dozen adults into a dam and they dig their own caves in the muddy walls of the dam and breed like rabbits.. hence why the price of these plecs has come down considerably over the years....
