Tilapia Progression

For those following the Tilapia being raised in above ground pool.

Fry are raised in aquarium after hatching them.

3" is seven weeks and has been in outside pool since 3 weeks.

5" is 3 months and then moved out to the pond for the lmb.

Pic of pond growing them out in.

A poor quality of video of my Tilapia over wintering in the warm water.

Thanks TX 715 for the update.

Wow those things really scattered when you got close. Where is the warm spring in the vid?

The warm water would be located at the lower left corner of the video.

Just to the right of that area is the tilapia spawning fields I call them. It's an area that is probably 30yds x 20yds and is full of large tilapia, 15"+, on spawning beds. I wish I could get a nice picture from above to post.

Water temps away from that area was 62 degrees.

TX715 "I wish I could get a nice picture from above to post."

I would like to see that. A vid would be even better.
