Anyone know where I can find some live tilapia or trouts in a store or from someone on the board.
i'd like to try some aquaculture for fun/food.

Never been but always wanted to :(.

They're advertising being able to choose your fish from a tank.
Not sure what they may have but might be interesting.

Then again what are the laws if any concerning this. Sheesh so
many laws it's hard to keep track,

Any idea of the actual scientific name of the tilapia species they are selling? I saw them, but didn;t recognize the species.
1 210g Asian Community planted fast water tank: balas, tiger & black ruby barbs, red-tail black shark, rainbows, loaches, SAEs, gold CAEs, 1500GPH river flow, plus 1500gph filtration.
1 75g African planted tank: 3 synos (had them since the 90s), yellow labs, kribensis.
1 40g breeder, silicone-divided into two - quarantine and nursery.

sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with other projects lately.
I do not know the sp. type yet.. doing some more research on this in the coming weeks.
I'll start small for now and see how things go.
