<p>I have delt with overton and have had excellent experience with them. Any problems with the fish, they always make good. I would highly recommend them. If you are in the Houston area we also sell Mozambique tilapia. (greenlifeaquaponics.com)</p>

<p>Aquaculture of texas also a very good outfit. This guy knows about everything there is to know about freshwater shrimp. I have been working with him on ways to increase density in raft cultures.</p>

I have used Overton Fisheries multiple times. They have been great helping with the fish, any fish problems, and food. It's a 3 hour drive for me from DFW but make a road trip of it and stop for some BBQ/DQ and it makes for a great drive.

<p>I found a local source for red composting worms in Richland, Tx. They have a link to a nifty DIY worm bin at the bottom of their page.</p>

<p>I drove to Overton Fisheries from Waco (about 2 hour drive) and purchased four (4) lbs. of tilapia fingerlings and have had them just over two weeks. They survived the journey back in the oxygenated bag - did just fine in adjusting to tank as well, and they are growing. Overton is very knowledgeable and helpful. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Just an update. I went to Pond King today and picked up about 8 catfish and 6 hybrid Bluegill. They were friendly enough and didn't mind a small order. I was hoping for albino catfish and tilapia but they were out. They had a few dead fish floating in the tanks. They bagged my fish and all were alive when i put them in my tank about an hour later. I have nothing to compare Pond King to, but would give 4 out of 5 stars.</p>
