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 Jeff Givan on May 17, 2010 at 11:00am: Wow, that's great! They are about 10 minutes from our home. He never answered the phone or emails before! I will have to try again! I could use 500 or more if I had the money!

Comment by Andy Smith on May 17, 2010 at 10:55am: Jeff I just talked to Blue Beyond Fisheries 760-275-0756 and he said he could supply 50 3 in Tilapia for $ 1.00 each. Wow. 17955 Bubbling Wells Rd
Desert Hot Springs Ca. 92241. email osfersan60@hotmail.com, He has lots of fingerling also. Andy

Comment by Jeff Givan on May 17, 2010 at 10:42am: Thanks for the link Andy! And, thanks for the posting Sylvia! Let me know what you find out on some of the other suppliers. My guess is you could do Trout in SB, but your right about not being able too here! My water is already 83 and it isn't even summer yet!

Comment by Andy Smith on May 17, 2010 at 10:33am: Sorry the email is tilapiamama@cox.net

Comment by Andy Smith on May 17, 2010 at 10:30am: Jeff --Great list, I hope we can get one to supply fish. I got my fry from mamatilapia@cox.net in San Diego. I'm also looking into Trout since it is hard to keep water above 70 degrees here in SB. A problem you probably don't have in the desert. Andy

Comment by Sylvia Bernstein on May 17, 2010 at 10:25am: Hey Jeff, I added your link to the California tilaipia suppliers list above. Thanks for the info.

Comment by Jeff Givan on May 17, 2010 at 10:11am: Andy,
Try this link, I hope it works.

It is a list of approved Fish suppliers in California by County. Good luck. I have tried to call some near me and none will even return their calls. My guess is that they don't want to do small orders. Perhaps if we need too we can combine and split an order. I need more fish as well! If you want to email me write to JGiv1@aol.com

Comment by Andy Smith on May 17, 2010 at 8:15am: Good morning --I am still trying to find some where in Southern California where I can buy larger Tilapia. I have 50 fry in my 340 gal tank(74 Deg) that are growing at a steady rate, but my veggies are not going crazy and I need bigger fish. I don't even get any reading on my nitrate test strip. Thanks Andy

Comment by Troy Workman on March 31, 2010 at 8:35am: I got my tilapia (blue) from Rex Rain at http://www.tilapiastockers.com

Comment by Sylvia Bernstein on March 31, 2010 at 5:26am: glad to hear it, Raychel! You inspired a very interesting conversation stream. Would you post a few photos of your system? Thanks
