I don't know what I have to change but my Tilapia are taking a lot to breed.

It is still too cold for mine to breed. Do you guys have the water at 80 consistently? I can't keep that when the temps drop into the 30s...

How do you guys breed them?
Comment by Jon Parr on March 9, 2013 at 9:54am
I've managed to move multiple females into one tank, with limited success. If you move them at the same time, odds are better. If they each have a large hide, even better yet. Still, best to stick each female in her own home.

How do you notice if a male tilapia is ready for breeding? My tilapia started acting different today. It changes color and. Became almost black and was chasing around the other fish. Is this a sign?

Good evening.  I am new to the group and have been growing Tilapia in recirculating systems for a few years as a food product for local consumers.  My difficulty is identifying femals to sequester for reproduction purposes.  I have a mixture of reds and blues, not interested in streamlining purity for the food market.  Can you point me to a discussion earlier or if someone has a good method and would share I would be appreciative.

I am Excited! my first batch of eggs! 

Comment by Bart on November 6, 2012 at 4:02am

Thanks for the feed back.

It looks like cranking the temp up over 80F is going to be the key for mine they are 10x more active now then they were when it was hovering around 70F, and I can't believe how much more they have started to eat.
