Comment by Eric Warwick on December 4, 2011 at 11:23am: They bit the heater enough that it broke, so that their water had no heat. Not exactly eating it but I assume some plastic was eaten. Just wanted to know if it's normal behavior.

Comment by TCLynx on December 4, 2011 at 4:46am: How would they eat a heater?

Comment by Eric Warwick on December 3, 2011 at 6:25pm: Has anyone else experienced tilapia eating the heater before?

Comment by TCLynx on September 27, 2011 at 2:47pm: How bout a link Randy since the comments move down and I don't see which comment you mean when you say above?

Comment by Randy Moss on September 27, 2011 at 2:45pm: I understand using native fish but why I need heat in my tanks I love to eat Tilapia, so that is why I choose to raise them. If you would like to build a great heater, like I stated above check out my YouTube videos.

Comment by Eldon Stanford on September 25, 2011 at 6:49pm: look for above pool solar kit

Comment by TCLynx on April 2, 2011 at 6:53am: I'll be devils advocate and encourage people to use local/native species that don't need much heating if any (of course I realize that those in cold climates will need heating to keep the water in the greenhouse from freezing in the pipes.)
