Im in Alameda county, Ca, and just found out I cant buy Tilapia here?!?!?! What other fish should I consider? This will be my first aquaponics system, and have no experience raising any fish.

I didnt plan a heater or water cooler in my system because I was under the impression that tilapia will do fine in my areas temperature. Now I dont know what to raise.

Any one have any experience in this area? what fish did you raise? do you control the water temperature artificially?

Thanks
