Tilapia is the most popular fish among Aquaponics farmers for several reasons the most

important being they are one of the hardiest fish on the planet. The 2nd most important reason

is they taste great. 

Black Mozambique (Oreochromis Mossambicus) are extremely disease resistant and very

prolific breeders. They reach reproducive maturity at 3 and ½ to 4 months of age, and are one

of the easiest strains to breed. They are an excellent selection for Aquaponics Systems that

experience extremely hot Summer Temperatures because they love hot water and perform well in

both freshwater and full strength sea water. Adults reach up to 16 inches and can weight up to 5

or 6 lbs. Black Mossies, their nickname, do not do well in colder water.

These resilient fish can withstand challenging water quality issues like low pH, low oxygen and

high ammonia and nitrite levels, which beginning Aquaponics farmers run into from time to

time. 

Tilapia have gotten a bad rap and are actually considered evasive species in some States in spite 

of the fact that they serve as a natural biological control for most aquatic plant problems like an

overgrowth of algae. Because they will eat algae, duckweed, water-meal and undesirable 

submerged plants, they really don't compete with pond fish for food. 

Nevertheless, we cannot ship to Utah, Hawaii, Illinois and portions of Florida without a State 

permit. So before you order Fish, you need to do some research to discover what your State's

or County's Fish and Game Dept. regulations are in relation to Tilapia. 

It is up to you to know your state's regulations because your Fish may be confiscated upon

arrival in your State if you've ordered the wrong species for your State.
