    I like the banana idea ....... one for me, one for the fish ...... one for me, one for the fish ..... etc., etc., ...... (repeat as needed) ......

    Breed, As far as using eggshells, keep in mind that they will make your system more alkaline, just like seashells or coral, so you've got to watch your PH if that's going to present a problem! My PH is already high, so I couldn't use something like that.

    Looks like de-fatted rice bran is good too.

    I am growing alfalfa in an indoor grow bed. Can I give my fish that for the potassium?

    Cut fresh, more than likely. I've never tried though. The tilapia may need to get accustomed to it, like most new foods. I've read lots of studies on feeding tilapia alfalfa. On it alone they don't gain weight as fast as on a 30% protein diet, but the feed cost is way less.

    That's not a bad idea .... I feed my Tilapia lettuce scraps, and during the summer, I was growing wheatgrass and rye grass, and feeding it to them every so often. They loved it!
