Farms: Back Yard Tilapia fish farm setup 1
Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
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.

Sir, Just a awesome set up. Can I do this in my roof top ? I can make few aquarium there. what should be the height of my aquarium ? For starting I want to do with 15 number of tilapia. What should be the number of male and female sir ? What should be the age of the breeding pairs ? Please sir, help me. If there is any direct sun light, will it create any problem ?

@TheParadisetropicals Right now I have around 1.75 per pound in my fish. This is not good because they retail for around 2 bucks a pound. If you notice the system only has grow out fish in 1 of the 2 tanks. If i put grow out fish in both tanks I could cut production cost by 40 percent enhancing profit. We are using the raceway for breeding this year until we get a hatchery set up inside where it warm. Next year we may stock both 600 gallon tanks and produce around 700 pound of fish.

Was just wondering what is the monthly cost (electric,gas replacing any filter material etc) to run your system? How much will each pound cost you to produce? I plan on doing something similar in a green house in middle GA. Only with concrete raceways and solar water and room heat and trying to raise trout outside with a spring fed raceway. Thanks for your time. I have been a tropical breeder for years and have kept them all in aquariums. I have 25 aquariums of all sizes and also plan to setup

Wow that's totally cool. I want to set up a row of those plastic palet tanks in the walipini greenhouse I'm planning and use them as both a heat sink and tilapia growing station and use the dirty water to water all my vegetables :)
