Tilapia are sometimes known as “aquatic chicken”, due to their high growth rates, adaptability to a wide range of environmental conditions, ability to grow and reproduce in captivity and feed on low trophic levels. As a result, these fishes have become excellent candidates for aquaculture, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Indeed, tilapia culture has been expanding rapidly, and is now practiced in more than one hundred countries worldwide.

@logan, most articles posted here are not authored by me, it came from different sources. i just re-arrange and compiled it with minimum editing. the original source is always indicated at the end of the article for due credits. i’m sorry to decline your offer to be a resource person, i don’t have the qualifications to do so.
you can find related articles of “tilapia raising” on this site. just check the “Related Posts”. there are also great inputs added by readers on the comments section.
thanks for visiting.

Hi! I’m so grateful for your website. I’m a broadcaster for radio and a program manager for a business channel. I know these’ll only last as long as i’m fit to work, so instead of partying or throwing away my earnings on a new celphone, im deciding to go into business and may i say, i have a very productive time reading your entrepreneurial ideas especially about tilapia farming. We have a pool in our garden, and coming from paranaque, we have a water shortage so i have to have the water delivered. I therefore have a few questions:
1.) what kind of aerator do i need to buy? Any recommended brand? Where do i buy this?
2.) what would be the best method to grow tilapia in a pool?
3.) can i feature you as a resource person for our TV channel for SMEs?
Thank You and hoping for a speedy reply!
Great website!

@fred, as far as i know, pwede yung sinasabi mo esp. sa tubig ulan. pag galing gripo, if supplied by maynilad or manila water, you have to put de-chlorinating agent. and most importantly — kelangan mo ng pump for “aeration” para makapag produce ka ng oxygen continuously sa tubig.

puede bang buhayin ang tilapia in your own backyard?
nabubuhay kaya cla pag tubig gripo lang at ulan ang gamit?
