Hey Jeff, I'm a newbie looking to begin my system in home on or before Dec 1st. Still doing some research but I would like to get some fingerlings from you when I'm ready. My contact email is mz.love21@gmail.com

Thanks,
Mz. Love

I still have fish available. Sounds like you're at least a month or more out from needing them if you haven't started yet. If you need any helpful suggestions about setup just let me know.

Hey Jeff! I just stumbled across this community and it's awesome! I live in Detroit and am looking for tilapia. Do you still have any available? I would only need a few...my system is pretty small.

Yes I still have Tilapia. You're welcome to a starter set. I know when I was starting I got lucky and was able to get 5 free fish and am more than willing to share. They multiply quickly.

I'm in Garden City. I'm out of town right now but will be back this weekend. Is your system already set up?

Great! Yes my system is already set up, cycled, and has had 1 brave tilapia in it since September. Would Sunday afternoon sometime work? And how do you suggest transporting them?

Michael sorry I didn't respond but I thought I had. Just let me know when you'd like to drop by for the fish.

Should be OK. Send me your phone # and I'll give you a call tomorrow as my schedule can get screwed up.
