I know a breeder. Those fish are his first cull and he would normally have killed them all. He took one of my classes and has a micro system in this yard. It took me a year to talk him into selling me his cull and not killing them. I actually tried to get him to breed tilapia for me because I have such demand for fish but he had no interest. He finally sold me some to stock my barrel systems. I now like growing koi much more than tilapia. Koi are friendly fish unlike my tilapia.
That's a lot of Koi. They grow about 4 inches pa depending upon tank size and are producers of massive quantities of "waste" (gold fertilizer to the Aquapons). Do you have numerous tanks to eventually house them?
