Hi:  I am located in Hudson, FL, just off Denton Road & Coyote Rd.  I do not live on the site. My e-mail address is semperfidave@juno.com or give me a call at 727 697-3536.  I am generally at the farm daily between 11:00AM and 1:00PM daily.

Hey Sam,

I just came in from my greenhouse and a group of those you gave me are breeding,  2 males and 5 females in a 65 gallon tank. I had forgotten how colorful the males are. I have cleaned a couple 40 gallon tanks to put the females in. I didn't expect them to spawn so soon but whatever, I two more colonies set up but I don't think I'll need them. Take care

Larry

Hi SW, Glad to meet you! I have really been enjoying your Tilapia Breeding discussions and look forward to learning more about my new found passion. I began my 1st AP system in late June of 2011 and began with 125 Blue Nile Tilapia. I just moved them indoors for the winter and counted 140...possibly a few more even (as they were hard to count with all the wiggiling) I was surprised to see fish from 6" to fingerlings. I look forward to sharing more as my adventures continue

Plus his stuff is simply organic not non GMO (genetically modified organisms). Do you know the difference? Do you care? I'm not asking to be snooty. I'm asking because many people do not realize how much of their food is GMO simply because the gov tries to protect those big Ag bandits by refusing to identify what is and what is not made of GMO crops.

Thank you for your comment. My grain is for human consumption. I do not use grain in making feed which is something I have been working on for the past several years. I'm not interested in making money. My only interest is securing safe, clean, wholesome food.

Glad to be a member/friend and want to learn as much as possible. I now have a backyard set up and desire to go commercial ASAP. I have Snails, Blue Tilapia and a variety of basic herbs. I am St. certified and ready to sell everything. I also have BT fingerlings if anyone needs some to get started.

Morning,

I see u r an early bird like me, usually up at 4:00 am. In the 1980's and 90's I owned and operated a Koi farm in central Florida, on my farm I also kept an above ground swimming pool loaded with catfish and tilapia for my dining pleasure :>) I'm retired now and living in a small town just outside Apopka in a small retirement house. I just finished building a aquaponics system, the FT is 2600 gallons and one stream filter/grow-bed 240 gallons. I will add 3 more grow-beds in the coming weeks. I've never been one to think small so I always over achieve

The system has been running 10 days now and is nearing the completion of its cycling since I seeded it with sponge filters from my greenhouse where I keep tropical fish. I raised 200 fingerling catfish and 100 fingerling tilapia in an Intex swimming pool and have moved them into their permanent FT. I got the catfish at the end of April from a nearby lake and the tilapia(3/4") on June 16th. From the looks of the tilapia they don't seem to be Blues more like a hybrid, I was wanting Blues since they are a little more forgiving as to temparature. Maybe you have a few to spare, anyway I've kept fish for 60 years and at my retire I had a 100 acre farm with 500 ponds most were 20' x  40'. What I have now can fit inside one of those ponds. But I'm not as young as I used to be and am trying to keep my self under control(I think I'm failing at that).
