My Wife has a field in Buriram Thailand , We are going to build a house there. I want to have a Tilapia hatchery and sell to the locals and farmers. Lots to learn. Thank You 😊
Nice food coloring trick! I have trouble sexing/venting my fish but this seems to be a useful method. How long does it take for the food coloring to go away?
Thank you for the information. I have read from other sources that tilapia can begin breeding as early as 3 months and live up to 10 years. Is there a point in which they stop reproducing? And if so, at what age?
I rescued a 2-3 gallon tank that was full of baby talapia. About 25 & they're about 2.5" long give or take. The aquarium has a built in filtering system that is still working well. And a heater as well. I've kept fish before in the past but never talapia. I'm planning on adding a male & female to my outdoor pond that has a filter & is also heated. And the rest I plan on donating to my cousins aquaponics setup when they get larger. My question is, will it get along with my shabunkin fish & koi? They aren't much larger than my talapia at about 3-4". The pond is small, about 50 gallons & I just added the koi & shabunkin about 4 months ago. Any help would be helpful. Thank.
pretty awesome... those big fish are huge too...how many pounds you guess?...so you say a 4-1 ratio is good but most folk say min of 5 cuz dude will kill anything less...your opinion ?
The large adults range from 3 to 5 Lbs. As far as the fish ratio of 4 to 1; I have had the best results with this breading tank ratio. Every situation is different and what works for some may not work for everyone. There are numerous environmental factors when breading tilapia. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Good video, real informative and helpful to anyone who wants to get into this. But, I've tried to eat this fish and, honestly - it taste terrible, far worse than any other fish I've ever eaten. I don't get what all the fuss is about raising this fish, other than as a survival food. My lake is full of them, with the ratio of Tilapia to bream and bass probably at least a 1000 to 1. I'm building a Tilapia fish trap right now in an effort to greatly reduce the number of these invasive fish. I've been throwing a cast net to see what I can get, and it's ALL tilapia, with only one single bream, one catfish, and one bass - EVERYTHING else was Tilapia with plenty of them about an inch or two long - so they are breeding nicely. I wish you luck in your business, but I honestly wish these fish had never been introduced to the U.S.
I would classify you as a hater , laid from a different fish lobby, wait show of hands who is going to restaurants and ordering the bream????? Hahahaha
hi there i got blue tilapia i belive and they have just had second lot of fry looking into breeding them bit better just subbed to you and you can see the fry on my channel
Hell, thems'EASY t'sex!! A rabbit can fool you till its' 2 months old! Embarrassing when you sell somebody a doe and it's sposed t'be a buck! Once the nuts come down it's easier..
I am 8yr & I love this video because i am reading about tilapia fish in my reading book & I learn more from this video.
Natalia ifill oh nice go and explore more
Look into Lakeway Tilapia. They are by far the #1 source on factual information written by biologists and are the largest Tilapia hatchery in the USA.
Very Informative. Thank You.
You remind Me Of Mike from all In the family a little.
Teach a man to raise fish and he will never go hungry !!! Nice Video Chris !!! Keep up the awesome info ...
very nice content. I have been a catfish farmer for over 2 years now, but I am researching to add Tilapia into my farm now
Thank you so much for the info! I dearly appreciate it!
Great video! short,but well explained!!
Great vid! Very helpful
I'm in Tuscaloosa and would love to do something like this!
Great job! I think it will be easier to use cooton buds to apply the the blue dye.

What size and type of PVC fitting are you using in the breeding tank?
How do you prevent inbreeding?
What kind of medicine did you use to change female to male?
nice.

cannot see the holes
Hello, is PH important? If so, what PH should it be? thanks in advanced
arielban1 pH for breeding needs to be at 8.0
Sweet home Alabama!
👍

Do you ship any of these tilapia for sell
Do you sell any of these tilapia
