This last one is also interesting in the fact that they raise Jatropa plants which are somewhat aquaponically raised. These plants make a high grade of bio diesel. In fact they claim to get 830+ gallons of biofuel per acre of land.

This last link will send you Tilapia as long as you can prove your State will allow them.

I purchased my tillapia fingerlings from edgar sanchez at unlocksmith @tilapiafarmingathome.com
he sells breders and mixed sex fingerlings, nice guy his website is tilapia farming at home. He also offers a 75% discont on breeders if you are the first person to find out the rules for bring his type of tilapia into your state
I also purchased Blue Tilapia fingerlings from Rex his email is rrains@hotmail .com anouther nice guy usually has a ad on ebay.
In either case they were shipped via mail over several states I only lost one baby
I have breeders in the basment hopefully I will be having some for slae in the next couple of months pure strian blue and alsoT. hornorum X mossambica cross. This cross acording to what I have read shoud produce 98% male. This would be a a on a small scale.
Before you get any fish make sure you can have them where you live.
The U.S may be the home of the free but no when it comes to keeping tilapia.

Florida,
Many people catch blue tilapia in ponds and canals as far as a free source. If you would like to buy them, only place I know of without an aquaculture permit here is Morning Star Fishermen.

They can sell Blue Tilapia but they don't ship so you have to go visit, bring an ice chest or other tank and a bubbler for the drive. They were very nice and showed me how to check gender of the fish (once they are big enough.) I have never been to one of their classes or workshops though.

Comment by Phil Slaton on May 30, 2015 at 6:40pm: Sorry that I have been away. I had 4-way bi-pass surgery. I have to sell my fish business - IBCs - $50.00 each or make offer. Pure strain Blue Tilapia fingerlings 1 plus inches at $1.00 each or make offer. Phone inquiries welcome, ask for Phil Three Six Zero-Six Nine Seven-7880. I live in Poulsbo, Washington.

Comment by Phil Slaton on November 23, 2014 at 3:07pm: Come on over and join West Coast Tilapia. We look forward to your input!

Comment by Phil Slaton on November 21, 2014 at 9:53pm: I get rid of big, aggressive fish. I sell them on Craigslist for food or ponds at $4.99 each.

Comment by David Demner on November 21, 2014 at 9:33pm: Mine is 127 Gal with 5 females. Works well.

Comment by Phil Slaton on November 21, 2014 at 8:39pm: I use 100 gallon tanks for my breeders that I get off Craigslist. One breeder tank is a whopping 175 gallon.

For the fry I use a few 55 gallon tanks, but mostly larger.

Again, all gotten off of Craigslist.

Comment by Jim Joy on November 21, 2014 at 8:10pm: What size tank do you use for breeding one male and four female tilapia? I thought 55 gallons was pretty big at first, but after nine months, it is getting a bit crowded. Suggestions are appreciated.

Comment by Pam DeLong on August 4, 2014 at 1:53pm: I have a pair of very productive Blue Tilapia. If anyone in/around Tucson would be interested in buying some babies, I'm selling my smallest (about 3/4") for $1 each. They are growing quickly. I also have quite a few that are 3" or better...will sell them at $3.50 each.

And that's just from my smaller indoor tanks! I discovered the group I have in the large stock tank out back have been busy too! I have no idea how many I now have out there!

If you are interested in buying, I live on the East side and can meet with you near Craycroft/Golf LInks, or half-way between your place and mine depending on distance..

You can email me through this forum, or text (520-678-0984).

Thank you!

Comment by Stuart Polkinghorne on June 10, 2014 at 4:23pm: Your tanks sound way to small for breeding. I use 115 gal tanks but most use 80 and up. They also like places to hide eg PVC pi[es.

Yes the will be very aggressive if more than one is make.

Comment by Pablo on June 9, 2014 at 8:45pm: anybody knows about growning tilapia with shripms/prawns or any other.

Thanks
