Thanks for the mention Dave! We also have a Hatchery Choice special going on right now with pricing as low as 70 cents a fish. Great deal for the bargain hunters out there.

Very true. If you want anything other than blues here in FL, you then need special additional permits to go with your aquaculture license and not all species are going to be allowed. In TX they are allowed different species. Some States don't like to let you grow tilapia at all and any species is a special case.

Be careful as regards State specific rules re which Tilapia you can have. Very hefty fines for violations. Unfortunately there may be limited or no defense by claiming you did not know the law..."ignorance of the law is no excuse".

+1 size matters. If you wanted to compare anything, texture would be a better measure but that will likely be mostly effected by size. Picking whatever variety that grows best in your conditions is likely the best choice as Dave said.

cool
I am thinking that it might be better to have fast growing fish, if you plan to have a party or eat a lot of fish.
I have pretty much pure, White, Red, and Blue
I have mix of Mozams and Blues. the Whites grow fast under my conditions as well as the Reds. My Reds have a wide variation in size, as do my Whites. My blues are not growing as fast, but they are all pretty much the same size.
Some of my whites are about 16" in a year. my mix of whites and blues are a little smaller 12 to 14 inches same age.
Size matters, when preparing.

I would say tilapia is more properly known for it's "lack of taste" it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with. Same is pretty much true for channel catfish though.

Great idea.
If there aren't any opinions, I will run a survey this summer and keep you posted

the sump is for a 50 gal bow aquarium.
