You are getting great advice from TC here, Jake. I just wanted to jump in with a link for an excellent source of tilapia food if you don't have access to local Aquamax - <a href="http://www.theaquaponicstore.com/Tilapia-Feed-s/71.htm">http://www.theaquaponicstore.com/Tilapia-Feed-s/71.htm</a>. This is a family owned (he is a member of this community site) small batch, high quality producer. I hope the salting works!

<p>Well I don't actually grow tilapia anymore but I've been feeding the same feeds to my catfish and bluegill as I fed to tilapia.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have an advantage of Having Aquatic EcoSystems local to me so I can go in and pick up a 5 lb bag of feed from them without dealing with the shipping.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For my 36% (? maybe it's only 32%) protein feed I use Aquamax Dense Culture feed or Aquamax 4000. It is a purina mills product. Lets see I'm sure I have written a blog post about…</p>

<p>i got a water test at a local pond-and-aquarium store ... my levels were consistent with what they found, but they didn't do a DO test ... i guess because oxygen will come out of solution on the way to the store ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>i really appreciate your advice ... would you tell me where you buy tilapia food ... ?</p>
