<p>I'm just north of Panama City and having pretty good luck with channel cats. There is a large hatchery in Bonifay, I don't know the name but they have a website so some googeling should put you there. I will ass that the guy I got my set up from inquired with a state sponsored institute about talapia and was told not "no" but "HELL NO" and just for inquiring, someone from the state inspected his tank and took a water sample, and they monitor the hatcheries orders. They aren't indigenous…</p>

They aren't indigenous to the panhandle and it's like $2000 per fish fine so definitely do some checking before you purchase anything.</p> Oh yeah, I forgot about that…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2015-06-10:4778851:Comment:6073922015-06-10T13:59:22.681ZAlex Veidelhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/AlexVeidel
<p>Oh yeah, I forgot about that whole legality thing. Pacu's probably out of the question for a 20 gallon :)</p>
<p></p>
<p>Catfish, bluegill, perch, and crawfish come to mind.</p>

<p>Thank, I have a 20 gallon grow area also. But, I think talipia are outlawed in my area (north west florida - Pensacola). Any other recommendations on fish type I could eat to fit 20 gallon tank? How about fresh water shell fish? Fingerlings are a good idea to save money I would think.</p>

<p>That would depend on the quantity of fish you wanted :) You can fit at least two 1 lb tilapia comfortably in a 20 gallon system, assuming you have enough grow space to support them. If you're planning something bigger system-wise, you could always get some fingerlings and grow them out in the 20 gallon.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Or, if you'd prefer to be able to lose a few fish without too much drama, start with goldfish; they're a common choice.</p>

<p>Thanks. I would like fish I could eat, but I think my tank size is too small, but eventually that is my goal.</p>

<p>Yes, you can buy fish online, although I'd recommend you find a reliable source for what ever fish you decide to go with. Did you want a fish you can eat?</p>
