- My red tilapia breeding & growout setup is my way to maintain the population of our fish for all year round food consumption, selling is not my priority but people approached me want to buy, i sell to them since i hv too much, but overall i enjoy raising & breeding tilapia.
How adorable these fishies are :)
a very good shre. Have a blessed day
I love it... great job🎉

Thanks, will do!
Thank you for Your informative Video. My Wife has a field in Buriram Thailand, We have Our home in Alaska right now, We plan to move to Thailand. I want to raise tilapia. 😊
please do more video, your video so educating and fun !!!
Yes i will, its jst that im in the period of adjustment to my new job, thank you!
Excellent skills
Thank you so much for all the information. What kind of pump and filter are you using please? 🙏🏾 👏🏽I’m very interested in growing tilapia but I want to have the right equipment. I already bought ibc totes and drum
I'm interested in your sponge filter for the smaller tank with the fry. I understand the larger filtration setup, but I'm trying to figure out how to set up a filter without the babies getting caught in the filter. Thanks so much for these videos, most informative ones I've found on tilapia ponds. You definitely know what you're doing!
i jst used the sponge filter (ready use) the one we can buy at the petstore, sometimes i use hang on back filter (HOB) and use round sponge or foam to wrap around the sucktion pipe to avoid babies getting caught. Thanks for the compliment, it inspired me to make more fish video.
In my experience with breeding Japanese koi, a sponge filter or no filter is best. The greener the water, the better the fry grow!
First you need a small tank made of acrylic where you grow the babies for first 10 days. On the 10th day you shift to a net like holder, that have hooks on it on one side that hangs in the main tank. I had mollies and guppies raised in my aquarium.
I made the net holder like set up to be kept in the same tank where parents were and they grew easily. I saw it in a fish shop and I made exact replica of it.
Its a cuboid like structure that have tight netting, the whole container fits on one of the walls of the aquarium by hooks that hang on the glass where you can see the babies moving around.
Amazing
Humbly, thank you
awesome content Im thinking I may add a filter to my small aquaponic system the water is already crystal since I have to media beds for filtration idk will see thx again.
Great video po👌
Thank you 😁
I would really appreciate it if you make a video showing what is inside your bio filter, maybe open up and take out the material layer by layer then put them back in. Since you are so successful, I think a lot of people are interested to copy your methods. Also, for such a big tank, do I need need to construct a concrete base for it to sit on? Thank you in advance!
hi there, very nice setup you have there, what are the media filter for the bio filter from your 1000 gallon tank ?
Thank you! im also one of your subscribers. Im using lava rock at the bottom and bath scrubs, nets, and jap matt on the top of my biofilter.
Where did you get the red tilapia from? How to distinguish male and female by the look of it?
Good sharing bro.. Mantappp... Subscribe done!!
Thank you!
Hi this is good. Would you kindly share the plans for this set-up?
Thank you for this video. I like how clean you water is. Impressive. Some others do not so so well and I don't like the quality of the fish. How do you know the female fish has fry in her mouth unless you see the breeding.
Yes the taste of the farm fish is defend on the quality of water, i experienced tilapia taste like algae and has soil smell, it means it was raised in a dirty water, this is the reason i farm my own fish. Very easy to tell once the female has fry or eggs in her mouth, if u see the mouth is moving faster than usual and its more bigger and bulged like putting 3 tablespoon of food in a mouth in one time.
nice,,pa sipa na man jan
Salamat! subs ako sa channel mo....

Are all your tanks ibcs or the 300 gal Rubbermaid tanks? Also what are your stocking rates per tank?
I got both IBC & 300 gal rubbermaid, my stocking rates is defend on how old & size of the fish, for a full grown 3 lbs fish, the stocking rate is 5 gallon/fish with good filtration.
Bom dia amigo
gracias!
I need to breed but water temp way low for one thing. Right now I just feed them.
Yes, tilapia only breed on right temp, but some breeders used water heater to control right temp.
How many months did they reach to the final stage?
I usually harvested them at 6 months old, i dont let them exceed 1yr old
@@BackyardHobby thanks I really appreciate 🙏 sir I have them in my pond and they're 3 months now
What kind of tilapia taste better and gets bigger?
if u want to raise tilapia that grows big, make sure you see the parents of those fingerlings before you buy them. When it comes to taste, for me red tilapia taste more better, it has the taste of ocean fish.
the market for aquaculture in the USA is oversaturated with meandering and vague content. insights are hidden. you share your methods clearly. many people would pay you to help them troubleshoot and service their hatcheries, but, you already have everything you need in life :)

Good day sir, it’s all defend on filtration, strong & good filtration & good aeration which can maintain good water quality is the key for success in fish farming. Tropical places are the best region to farm fish, cold places got success if they do indoor & uses heater.
Sir, How do you keep the water crystal clear ?r u using uv light ?if so, what wattage?
Hello! i dont use UV light, right balance filtration setup & maintenance is the key for crystal clear water
@@BackyardHobby even tho the system is exposed to sunlight like yours? Any water change tho ?
Yes, all my pond setup are exposed to sunligjt bec i wanna to take advantage
Of the natural food frm sunlight like carpet algae & string algae
Does your pond gravity fed or pump fed? Where is your submersible pump located?
How do you get rid of Nitrate without using plants in the filter?
By having a healthy & abundant beneficial bacteria in my biofilter and you can only achieve this if your mechanical filter is doing its job by not letting fishpoop enter the biofilter.
@@BackyardHobby No amounts of beneficial bacteria can get rid of Nitrate, only plants and water change can.
Anyway i do 3 - 5 gallon WC everyday to maintain water level to replenish those water escape when collecting solidwsste.
can this method breed salmon ?
No salmon breeding has different method
Where do you live and do you have any problems in the winter? do you heat it during winter?
Hello! i live in Guam (US territory) a tropical island where is more easy to raise fish bec we dont hv winter here. I saw people live in place that snow raising fish in a closed structure & used water heater to maintain right temp for the fish.
@@BackyardHobby it's remote place disconnected fom the outside world. You should be having beautiful places around make videos on this aswell. One more question you should be getting lot of sea fish then why are doing RAS
@@tvsatya3 There's a huge military bases on the place i live where nuclear ship and submarines are station, i think its not healthy for us islanders to consume those fish in the ocean.You know what i mean, right? Thats the reason why i rather farm my own food, atleast i know whats in there.
Can I visit your farm . I'm from Guam
Request a detailed filter.
Pls watch my backyard red tilapia pond or my backyard 650 gallon koi pond videos, filtration was shwn step by step
How much oxygen pump do i need for 200 tilapia
Venturi is more effective than oxygen pump, one 350 gal/hr venturi is more than good enough for 500 tilapia
hey! I would love to connect with you, I'm based in shanghai. love your videos!
Thank you! your comment motivates me.
I raised fry on small 50 gal tub with only sponge filter within only 1 month , fry need calm water
@@BackyardHobby what is the size and weight of fingerling after keeping them for a month at fry stage
@@greyimages3425 1 inch, in one month old, i dont weigh them
How much is the entire filtration system? Is trying to start fish farming
My only expenses are those pipes & rubber uniseal which cost me more or less $50, the rest i got them for free frm junkyard…..
newbie po ako , di naba need erator ang tilapia?
pump lng??? tnx po
Aerator is a must, specially for big adult tilapia, they wont grow fast if no DO ( dissolve oxygen).
I have a question for you ... would you be interested in trading fry i have some orange Mozambique fry or i have some white Nile hybrids mixed with the orange Mozambique. Im looking to get some new genetic ! and was wondering if we could trade 20 fry
I would love to trade with you, but where u located at? My location is Guam,its hard & expensive to ship fish.
@@BackyardHobby the United States…ya that is very far away I don’t think it would be possible to shit them there !! I love your set up looks like it works great at growing the fish out
Where can i get the filter?
All of my filters are DIY, i only bought the filter media like lavarocks frm homedepot
Pls I also have 3 female and one male but I don't know how to beginning pls help am in Nigeria
Boss, pwedi ba yung red tilapia i.crossbreed sa black/nile tilapia?
Yes Boss, pwedeng pwede, pero hindi maganda ang kalalabasan, bansot, mabagal ang laki
@@BackyardHobby salamat sa pag.sagot boss
How many tilapia holes in a 600 gallon
There's always 1 important hole in every tub or pond which allow the water to exit for filtration like bottom drain or SLO, then submersible pump will return the exit water back to the pond for cycle.
@@BackyardHobby how many fish can go into a 600 gallon tub?
@@omhchild2501 it defends on filtration, but the ideal is 5 gal/fish with strong filtration. So for 600 gal 120 fish is an ideal ratio
ano po size ng tub mo at ilan kasya ??? plano ko kasi pa gawa
1000 gallon size ng tub ko, can raise 300 adult tilapia till harvest, jst need right filtration & high protein diet to grow fast(6 to 8 months)
