Just wondering if anyone has looked into using Indian almond leaf in their tanks. As I haven't found any thing about using them with Tilapia but from what I have read they could be very use to us in the tropics where they are found.

Hi Randall - If you mean certified as in do we have a disease free certificate, then yes.  Our hatchery stock is inspected according to OIE/AFS standards by a fully credentialed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (Ours happens to be the regional USDA-APHIS fisheries Veterinarian for our area).  We provide some insight as to why this process is so important to tilapia growers (including small scale backyard growers) in the right hand margin here: http://tilapiasource.com/about

Ask just about any other so-called "tilapia hatchery" if they have a disease free certification, and your answers will vary from "what's that" to an emphatic "nope".  Basement tilapia vendors (which there are a ton of these days) rarely even know that these inspections exist, and the few that do aren't willing to spend the large amount of money and time involved with having them done... particularly every year.  A legit and reputable tilapia hatchery who is concerned with the quality of their stock, compliance with state and federal laws and overall disease prevention will know exactly what you are talking about, and provide you a copy of theirs without hesitation... and probably with a bit of pride.  We provide ours on our website for the world to see.

Dave - Thanks again for your vote of support.  It means a lot, and is very appreciated. :)
