"Just Amazing"
Nice video. What is the dimension of your fish tank?
This particular tank is a 25 gal. I have a total of 8 aquariums from 10gal to 55gal, plus 3 each 150 gal IBC totes (cut down). My total system contains close to 1000gals.
Hi there, nice to see these baby fish. What is the survival rate? how many fish would get out of 1000 frys?
How did you know she was ready to harvest?
What do you feed your fry?
Have you found an ideal timeline to leave the fry with the female? We've been stripping the eggs from our females after just a few days and placing them in egg tumblers. But this risks a small portion of the eggs dying/rotting, and of course is an extra step and effort that is maybe not necessary. But we want the female to get back to eating ASAP. Thoughts?
Good morning Greg! do you use incubator ? just woke up and i saw 3 of my female red tilapia their eggs are gone.why do they eat the eggs?
Hi Greg,
After many tries, last week I could see my first fry.
I have led alone the mom with the fry in a tank.
What do you recommend? Can I separate the fry, or feed them with the mother?
what is the smallest tank I would need for my nile tilapia to be able to mate in?
How can i start
How did you know her babies had hatched and they were ready to be taken away?
How long does the tilapia eggs take to hatch in the mother's mouth??
success I got my first batch of Fry, got about 200 from one fish.
What is the maximum size of bloodstock you would recommend to try this with? My 8 tank set up has a mix of 500g to 1kg Males and females. Should I select males that are smaller than the females to minimise the bullying? Many Thanks.
How do you perform the count?
I'm just curious where someone that would want to breed Tilapia could sell all those fry? Is there a distributor that you sell them to, or what could you do with them all? I really want to get into this, but I don't want to be overwhelmed!
hi sir i always watch your video to get some information.. i want to start a small concrete pond.. but before that i just want to know if its better if i buy breeder or i buy fingerlings to start my small business.. and how many times i can use the breeder when i buy 4fem and 1 male to produce fry.. thanks to all the information i hope you can help me..thank you in advance
SO thinking I will just remove the female from the tank when the 7 or 8 days has gone by. Then the babies will be left in the 55 gallon to grow out a few months.You think that will work? Any way to know when the babies are old enough to be able to come out on their own? she does not open her mouth much I see her bulge at the bottom of the mouth and see her moving them around but she is shy.
ok but if I pull her out once I see them for the first time will the fry be ok?
I got my first batch of tilapia fry of 457
And it was all thanks your first 4 videos
