    Re: Blue Nile Tilapia pricing

    Why would you use lower protein food? I am finding it hard to keep my protein levels high enough...in comparison to fatty acids, etc. Seems I get one or the other.
    Anyway, when trying to force growth and breeding conditioning, I am always straining for the higher percentages.
    At first I left this blank...but now I believe: "It's better to keep your mouth closed, and have the world think your a fool, than open it and confirm it."

    Re: Blue Nile Tilapia pricing

    Depends on age, size, and intended results.
    Typically I use live food, commercial pellet, and a homemade recipe. The auto feeders get the pellets. But the fry/fingerlings get either live food or cultures and the larger fingerlings and breeders get the home made recipes. And for my biggest ones I am experimenting with pinkies.

    I have a couple different recipies...havent' seen this one before.
    I got into making my own food from cichlids, and marine reefs.
    There are hundreds of recipies out there though. Some good, some not so good. Do your homework on what you are putting into your system.

    Re: Blue Nile Tilapia pricing

    I could but he isn't selling any more fish. He switched over to a fish-less system.

    Re: Blue Nile Tilapia pricing

    Isn't a fishless system just Hydroponics?

    Anyway...GREAT news. I have my first baby fish in the outdoor ponds spotted this week. Bright orange at 1/4 of an inch.
