Turned up the water temp so that the breeding colonies will do their thing. Living in Puyallup, we'll bag the fish. Likely 3 or 4 bags. Bring a cooler or tote to hold the bags for the trip home. Have the water in your tank about 80 degrees to receive them. Feed them 8 times a day.

I'm just now putting up the green houses but I will probably need about 100. My new tank will be about 300 gal. So I'm looking at about a month or so. I just wanted know if you still had them.

Yep, I have them. How many do you need?

Phil do you still have any tilapia left? I got some this spring but I'm building a new system that can take a lot more fish.

Thanks for having me. I've been looking into aquaponics for nearly a year, sat on 2 IBC totes for over 6 months, and finally decided to destroy the yard and get stuff set up. I'm in SE Arizona and currently trying to dig a hole for my sump tank to help with water temperature regulation. I'm looking at growing tilapia since they are allowed and deal well with warmer temps.
