Tilapia Breeding

Are Talipia and Koi Compatable?

I have a 300 gal tank and have both Talipia and Koi. Does any one know if there will be good tank-mates?

    I am a newbie to aquaponics.  Two small koi were in the 275 gal IBC (Tote) tank before the 30 tilapia fingerlings were added.  They seem to coexist admirably.  Both are growing larger for the last 6 mos.   The tilapia are more aggressive feeders, will swarm the surface, while the koi stay midtank during the various feeding frenzies over the course of a day.   Hope this helps.
