Hello I am wondering if anyone knows of someone who sells large amounts of tilapia fingerlings in southern California. They must be Mossambica due to state regulations. I would appreciate any help.…Continue

FYI, I posted pictures of our breeders during and after breeding; including pictures of their color changes, our brooding female, and sexing males and females.
Great! Let us know how things come along!
Hey Sheri, thanks for the other site and the link.
I am goggling like crazy for sure.
I will also check out the book.
Already have another person from Ky contact me also, so I am on the way.
So I am new here, but hope to get some great info.
I am located in KY and wanted to know if anyone is raising in cold area's and how they are dealing with keeping things warm?
Also, where and how I would get starter information on doing all this since I am starting from the beginning here.
Planning ahead
When should I move my male out of this breeding aquarium?
My thinking is to move this male into another breeding tank? I have two more tanks with females, 4 females with 2 big males and 4 females with 5 males.
My thinking is to keep the females and males together, except the aquarium. I will move the male out of the aquarium and later move a different male into the house with this female.
So, when should I move my male out of this breeding aquarium?
Sheri,
You got me excited.
Let me rephrase that.. your breeding pictures and description are exactly what I am seeing in one of my breeding tanks (the aquarium in the house). I am excited.
I have a male and a female in a 40 gal aquarium. She has been hiding in a tube for about two weeks, coming out three times that I saw. Today, I noticed this male moving stones to a corner with his mouth. I started watching him more closely; I noticed the black fin as you have in your picture. As I type this, she is moving to the nest.. WOW. My first.. I am excited.
Thank you for the detail in your pictures and description.

I just posted some more pictures of our breeders on my page.
