    Stucco, what species of tilapia? Wonder if that makes any difference?

    Hm... I was really hoping they could have some BSF to supplement their feed... I know they are around here in FL, but I don't know where to find some to start it off anyway so I guess no worries

    Our fish raising Who, went on a search....
    He found no reds...
    He found no whites...
    He found no fish with any stripes...
    Poor Who, he seems to just have blues.

    I have some to get you started, but they start to slow down this time of year. Unlike worm bins which can be kept indoors… these things stink, stank, stunk.
    My blues turn their nose up at the bsfl and most fish food that I’ve tried. Its crazy how fast they can determine what is being thrown to them.
    they likes the cat food.

    Fish have to be trained to eat new food. It can take a week, but they get programmed and only go after what they know is good.

    BSF aren't the best food for tilapia, but they are great for chickens!
