Thanks Rex. And what these other guys just said is sooooo true. I have been messing around with a few pond type fish in an aquarium to help me learn a few basic things you guys talk about with these systems. I learn best by doing....Wow, one thing is for sure, there is a lot to it that you guys just take for granted as part of the job and do, and think nothing of it.
Do your tilapia spawn, even though you may not be trying, when they are in such high densities as you show?
I used to have spawning, rearing and holding tanks, but the demand outpaced the reproduction volume I could do in my home pretty quickly, so I began having someone handle that for me.
The fish don't spawn much in high density situations, and any eggs females lay are gobbled up by other, hungry fish as soon as they are laid in crystal clear water.
Thanks for the kudo's on "what we do", but it is like any job people are used to doing....Some of us are blessed that it happens to be a passion for a lot of us as well!
