I am feeding with homemade pellets - I make them from organic oil press cake (hemp, almond, sesame and linseed), whole meal spelt flour, and a little rockdust. All of it purchased, I admit. I grow my own duckweed to supplement. For next season I plan to set up my BSF larvae production (with setting up the main system I could not focus on that, and it failed), and a tank growing a small native crawfish on tree leaves and veggy scraps for fich food .

To me, fish food is a huge input, and one that is often unsustainable. What
examples do you know of that do it without fish food inputs (or very little)?

Almost none of that is the case for aquaponics. It is a low-input, closed loop system, very different. Fish food is the primary input, though I know of systems that use almost no purchased fish food.
