My male in the breeding tank is making a pretty big nest at the moment and is chasing after the females

These are my opinions. I hope others on here will express their opinions

At the U of A, their tilapia tanks look like 55 gallon drums. I have seen the drums full of fish and still have frys. They are not doing research. They are training aquaponic facility managers.
I have 2 100 gal fish tanks, 2 150 gal fish tanks, and a 300 gal fish tank each has its own grow-bed. For breeding, I have a 125 gal tank, 3 50 gal tanks, 1 40 gal, and a 10 gal. I had fun and learned a great deal about fish and breeding, but I have shut down my breeding efforts, because I have enough fish hatching in the aquaponic setting. So, for a learning experience... I say have fun. Come up here and I will give you all of my aquariums.

I don't want to sell for profit or anything. But I want to breed them so I can harvest the big ones. Where I have them now is pretty crowded for them to breed in peace. So I have to put them in a separate tank

4 females to 1 male is good. Breeding is complicated, but a natural occurrence. My belief is that if you let it happen naturally, you will have enough fish to eat for your family and friends. If you want to sell tilapia for profit, you will need a large operation.

I will start breeding my tilapias soon. How much female should I put with 1 male?

If you can see your baby tilapia in a pond, chances are they have learned how to hide successfully.

If I use a fishing line to catch a tilapia, will it still do fine after I let it free again?

Stripped four more females yesterday. 30 gallon and 37 are full of fry. These Blues are like the energizer bunny. One of the females released in the tank before I could net her. My 5 inch fish had a feast. You wanna see on angry mamma. I have never seen a female get this aggressive with other fish. The big male got her to calm down and she is fine and eating normally today.
