Back Yard Tilapia fish farm setup 1

For more info contact us at tilapiafram@hotmail.com Tank culture of fresh tilapia can be a rewarding hobby. I began raising fish for personal consumption and enjoyed the wonderful results but quickly realized that larger amounts of fish production could result in a profitable venture. I then decided to convert my little fish raising operation to a back yard tilapia hatchery. A hatchery that could supply a commercially built grow out facility. I realized that one of the biggest financial risk are the fish themselves. I realized that by creating my own hatchery, I could improve the fish quality by selecting color and larger body form for reproduction. The farm is just at the completion stages, It has been a lot of work for me and Jose " the chicken whisperer". Next we will add fish! Questions or comments are welcome @ tilapiafarm@hotmail.com.

You have a really cool set up. I would like to try something in my garage. How would I make the biological filter and clarifier? Also how do I know how big I need it? Would it have to be half the size of my tank?

[TilapiaFarmer]

@bluehorseshoepools 1/3 rd the size of your tank. cut up plastic soda bottles for media.
