<p>Hello I am wondering if anyone knows of someone who sells large amounts of tilapia fingerlings in southern California. They must be Mossambica due to state regulations. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.</p>

<p>don't know if they are eating the eggs or what. have tried multiple methods to get them to survive such as removing the female to a solitary tank. removing the males to leave the female alone, removing the eggs from the female at the right time in hopes they will hatch on their own, but nothing works.</p>
<p></p>
<p>any ideas? the natural way of life seems like they would become extinct if allowed to naturally breed.</p>

<p>Also have about 30 T babies, all varying sizes in my 75 gallon sump tank, guess they escaped the big tank thru the pipes. Starting seeing them in Feb--I thought the water had to be at least 80 to breed???? Anyway, they seem to be very happy there and not causing any problems...except that I don't see any of the really tiny gray baby fry anymore.</p>
<p>I'm wondering if my 2" babies are eating the fry...so I thought I get get the big babies out and perhaps put them in a 60 gallon tank that I'm wanting to grow duckweed in. Is that possible? I know duckweed needs the fish poo but doesn't like water movement. I thought maybe a small aerator on one end would be enough for the babies and the duckweed would grow at the other end. (And add some mosquito eating fish too since that tank is outside). Pls LMK if that is feasible</p>
<p>And does anyone know what size fingerling are safe to put in with bigger fish? Can an 8" fish eat another fish that is 1-1/2"?</p>
<p>Thanks for any advice!!</p> Tilapia death question with phototag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2014-05-08:4778851:Topic:5617662014-05-08T04:57:02.191ZRod Russellhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/RodRussell

They have given me about Tow Hundreds 1.5 inch young tilapia (free), thanks to them. But the tilapias had been living in Saltwater and I do not know for how many generations. I used a 30 gallon bucket to transport the tilapia to my home. At home I took out half of the salt water then I refilled the bucket with fresh water. I waited for 30 minutes then I repeated the same procedure. I did this four times then I transferred all tilapias to my aquaponic 500g tank. It has been a week now and they seem healthy and happy.</font></span></p>

I found a school of fish in my tank today forming a very tight school about the Size of a softball. They were only about the width of your pinky fingernail, but at that size I usually begin to see color in my minnows. All these were dark.<br />

My question is how do tilapia act once they go off their own?

<p></p>
<p>1. Yes it works.</p>
<p>2. Yes it really is that inexpensive. Naturally the cost has gone up some since 2002 when this paper was written but it can still be done for under $15 (not including the air pump)</p>
