That's right! Home Tilapia farming offers a solution to the ever-more-difficult problem of finding a fish at a store that is fresh, clean, affordable, and virtually organic.
After all, with home-grown Tilapia, you will have intimate knowledge of its whereabouts from its birth to your dinner table!
Can you say that about that tasteless, overdone salmon fillet you had at that franchise restaurant last time?
How about that tuna salad from a can?
(I've always wondered how they get a tuna to fit in such a small can. Hmmm.)
The key to Tilapia farming at home is the "breeder colony."
Our breeder colonies consist of 5 females and 1 male. You can easily breed them in a home aquarium!
And on this website, I'll show you how you can turn your backyard into a Tilapia farm!
Here you will also find the very best quality pure breed Tilapia fingerlings to stock your backyard farm or aquaponic system.
I have many Blue Tilapia fingerlings ready to travel! these are all-natural, non-hormone
sex-reversed virtually organic baby Tilapia! Just visit the "Our Farm Offerings" page for ordering information.
Just like cats and dogs, etc.there are various breeds of Tilapia.
When I launched this website in 2008, I had Pure breed Hornorum and pure breed Orange Mossambica breeder colonies
(pictured below: the male is the gray Hornorum, the females are Mossambica). They produce all-natural, all-male offspring!
I now have expanded my selection to include Pure breed Blue Tilapia (certified as pure breed by the Florida Dept of Agriculture!)
Which breeder colony to use depends mainly on whether you want natural all-male, improved-body-form offspring (Hornorum/Mossambica hybrid fingerlings) or mixed sex fingerlings (Blue Tilapia).
