A Dream Come True!

Tilapia Vita Farms became a reality in October 2010

A green area

Somewhere out there, outside of Kim's "don't even think about thinking about it" zone...

A man and a rooster

North of this crazy kamikaze rooster's territory...

Wildlife

A bit to the east of the local fish-loving wildlife, I found...

The woods

The perfect spot! No trees were cut. These are just pieces of a dead tree we had to remove.

Cold frame

This "cold-frame" is the same width as the one in Orlando, just a bit shorter in length.

Leveling the ground for a tilapia farm

"Just a bit" of ground leveling was required.

A hatchery for a tilapia farm

Almost ready!

Creating a hatchery for a tilapia farm

Even under construction, the show had to go on!

Now we're getting somewhere!

Here's My First Video!

Just a spur-of-the-moment video I shot when I noticed 4 Blue females carrying eggs in one tank.

It's been a while since I used a video camera so it's not quite my best.

The Saga Continues!

In Nov 2013, I finally finished moving the Orlando greenhouse to Brooksville.

A hatchery

The hatchery is now 88 ft. long by 24 ft. wide.

A little more ground leveling

And A LOT of fill dirt!

LOOOOOVE IT!

Now the rest of the story.

Tilapia playpen

I call it her "Playpen."

Everything here was designed by her. It's a dream come true! I just supervised the construction.

But wait! who's playpen is that in the background?

Here is how that went:

Tilapia Vita Farms garden

I wanted a big-humongous-super-mega-giant "liver" (biofilter) to process all the fish waste.

Leveling the ground

A LOT more leveling!

Giant litterbox

That's Mrs. Meow and her son Mini-meow.

And this is their big-humongous-super-mega-giant litterbox!

15000-gallon biofilter

This is my 32 ft. by 16 ft. 15000-gallon biofilter!

If you look carefully, you will spot Mr. Meow!

Duckweed

DUCKWEED! WHOOPEE!

Enough to totally clean the water biologically, plus feed the fish!

Mr. and Mrs. Meow, as well as Mini, didn't mind giving up their

A parrot

As Aggie, the latest addition to the farm would say:

Th..Tha..That's all for now folks!
