Wow Greg, how you have grown! Are you where I think you are? Man……great setup. We need to catch up soon. I wanna see it and hear all about it. NICE JOB!!
How long does it take you to get your blue's to edible size? This nonprofit "Food chain" on Facebook is saying they have edible fish in 6 months from 3-4" fingerlings. But, they won't tell me what kind of Tilapia they have.

What do you clean your ibc totes with?
Does 2 month old tilapia can already be breed?
Great video…Can you share the dimensions for your 55 gallon breeder tanks and also the thickness of the glass? Also, how many females can be placed into the tank with the male?
Hi Greg, thanks for all the info,I know nothing about Tilapia, I also set up a breeder tank based on your information and now i have three females in one tank carrying eggs. How long do they usually keep the eggs before the fry appears ?
Thanks

what do u feed ur fishes in the different stages?
Beautiful system, I like it a lot!
I have a few questions. I have a male Blue Tilapia about 8 inches long and a female same size, in a 50 gallon tank, i had those two together for about 3 days and when I bought a second female to add to the tank they both beat her up and I had to relocater her, now my male is being rough with my female which is holding eggs… How can I get my tilapia to accept more female Tilapia??
Nice set up, what filter system do you suggest? On a budget of course.
SO I am following the basics and have one female alone in the 55 gall holding in her mouth since May 10th have water at 85 degrees and PH of 8. my understanding is she should spit them by May 17 or 18 then I will remove her and leave the fry in the big tank. Any advice for a first time breeder?
Using nile tilapia and my sexing got confused a little but worked out in the end.Circle is male and V is female……the site I used was backwards.
Could you not have one filter system for all the breeder tanks?
Thanks for this awesome video. I’m working on starting. Growing out 8 fry to start my breeders!
plz tell in detail what type of filter u use plz show picture.quite informative
