...The 1 inch tilapia I had Fed Exed a month and a half ago are up to 6 inches now. They feed like gangbusters 3 to 4 times a day. As you know I originally had issues but that is over. Hope they're not too big by May when they will be sold wholesale for FA control.
Dang Cecil you are definitely King of the pond. That's nearly an inch growth per week. What are you feeding those guys, Wheaties, breakfast of champions?!!
Bill,
I goofed. Time goes by so fast for me I am a poor judge of it. And I keep almost no records! Ask Bill Cody.
Anyway, got the fish at the very end of July. Had serious issues with them that I finally resolved about a month later with two antibiotic saturated in the feed treatments (first treatment was worthless as they weren't feeding actively), and three potassium permanganate treatments. I had 10 dead in the bag when I got them right off the bat, and ended up with about half or less of the 300 fish I originally ordered.
Anyway fish have been in the tank about 2 1/2 months from when they were 1 inch, which is 5 inches of growth in 10 weeks.
The survivors are extremely healthy and want to feed all the time. Not all are 5 inches but I'm guessing the females are the smaller ones.
