Ok back to the fish from everything I have been told and read the Blue have a better growth per # of feed ,grow faster ,breed earlier ,love heat but are good to about 45-50 (that will limit any heating ) so either way filling my freezer or my piggie bank they seem to be the best bang for the buck . Or have I missed something

I agree with you on raising Pure Strain, they don't hybridize naturally in Africa because of the different locales that they come from, but it is said that if you hybridize them, some will get to larger sizes ..... personally, I'd prefer to have the pure strain.

I think the blues are the best bang for the buck as well ..... that's what I'll be putting in my 475 Gallon homebuilt, if I can ever get settled ..... I'm between wanting to move to Tennessee for better weather and trying to sell my place in a crappy economy
