WHY YOU NEED TILAPIA
Adding fingerling tilapia to a pond is a safe and natural way to control unwanted aquatic vegetation. Tilapia are herbivorous fish that feed on aquatic plants, including algae and submerged weeds. By introducing tilapia to a pond, they will consume the unwanted plants, which can help to improve water quality and reduce the need for chemical treatments. Additionally, tilapia are a sustainable and environmentally friendly option for pond management, as they do not harm other aquatic life and can be harvested for food.
WHY TILAPIA FOR AQUAPONICS

Additionally, aquaponics doesn't require fertilizers or pesticides, making it a healthier and more eco-friendly choice. It's no wonder that tilapia is the top choice for aquaponic vegetable farms. Tilapia will typically grow to harvest size in less than one season.
