Totally sweet bro. My cousin has a sturgeon farm outside Columbus, and it is badass. One amazing prehistoric creature. You're gonna be eating like a king!
This is a nice garage set up. Question. How do you monetize em? You said you gotta make 50 bucks to keep them going what are best ways To make money from the fish?
Can people make live by farming tilapia at backyard or garage? I notice tilapia whole fish sold in Costco is $3.49 per pound, fillet sold at $6.99 per pound.
Ok.i was just thinking..for a little money you could completely go off grid w some solar and some batteries...would have like a little more detail in your setup
What kind of food is that. I have food just like that but my fingerlings don't react that well to it. I can't tell if they are stressed out or something. How are you filtering the water? I need to find a better filtration setup.
Very cool bro.Good eating,heathy eating,and done right,it's free maybe with a little profit.Eventually run a filtration system to the pool,stock with a variety of fishy,charge a fee to fish,LifeBuzzn fishing pond maybe?You could dress up like a Zulu warrior (leggings and zebra skin shield) run around the pool spearing tilapia.No?

Chuck, is that Columbus Ohio? I would really like to see your cousins farm.
Wow man, nice set up! super cool, thanks for sharing
Very good set up, thanks man for the inspiration planning on doing the same, but in the tropics, natural heat but minimal space backyard space
doctor p Good luck, let me know how it goes.
Two questions. What are you feeding them, and do you have a guide on what your homemade heater is? What is it and how does it work?
Hello Sir, Could you please make a video on making your homemade heater for the fish? Thank you!

Could probably set up some compost bins to keep the room warm, so you can turn off your heaters.
cool...your going to have a lot of fish fry's buddy...
Nicely done!
Lovely set up and a great video
LearningDaily I'm amazed at how simply it really is. It's a great hobby as well as an excellent food source.
LifeBuzzN I wish I could do that ! I will one day
Awesome, I'm trying to get started do they eat the duckweed or you just have it there to purify the water?
Sweet home Alabama!
I love breeding tilapia it is a great hobby/food source for a shtf scenario
Me too Jason, I'm getting ready to put an update out there.
better have a fresh source of water going in all the time or your fish will taste crappy. use rain water.
Cool setup.

looks great... but, looks expensive as well. what did this farm cost?? BALLPARK
+Mark Delaraga Hmmm....hard to say. I can tell you, it paid for itself in the first year.
Do you sell the fish you end up harvesting? Or do you just eat them
Thank you for posting.
My pleasure......an update is coming soon.
very cool and a lot of work
When I was setting it up, I spent a couple of hours a day for the first week or so. Now, I spend minutes a day on them. It's a great hobby.
i got lot of baby tilapia but they keep on died what do you thing I can do
very nice
So what is that meter that was telling you the electrical operation cost?? I've not seen one like that before.
I think its called EZWatt or something like that. They are great to have.
Do you give them only duckweed to eat ?
+SmokyMan001 I also give them worms and fish feed.
LifeBuzzN
ok thanks

I'm been trying for years to convert her pool to a pond with no luck. I'll keep trying. Zebra skin shield......I gotta get me one of those.
how did u make your heater?
this guy is a genius! lol
How do you sell the tilapia???
What do u feed them
and do u do a lot of water changes'???
Honestly, I don't do any water changes. I drain off waste water from my filter for watering the gardens, etc.......I top off with tap water as needed.
try breeding red tilapia they are basically the same but have much more meat
make some more videos... cool setup
I'll get more out soon. Anything in particular you want to see?
what do u use for water heaters
I made a heater from a water heater element and PVC with a thermostat. One heater is enough to keep all 3 totes warm thru out the winter.
could you please eplain how you set up everything ?any links would be of great help thanks!
Well......probably not. Check out my videos.....do a little research......it's out there for the ones willing to work at it. Sorry.
The hell are you growing salvia for?
+Ryann Large Sweetener.
LifeBuzzN Salvia is a plant that gets you high. Stivia is a sweetener
Salvia divinorum gets you high, salvia officialis is tasty herb.
oejlen I'll read into that. Thanks.
You can make a tea from salvia officialis, relaxing and with some honey tasty. but nothing that will knock you down.
Try breeding milk fish the grow much faster.
paulo blanco Are they fresh water?
+LifeBuzzN milk fish can live and grow from salt water or fresh water
nice
Hey Mark, the number I have for you is no longer good. The answer to your question is long.....call me if you still have my number in your phone...
Hi Greg.....I'll PM my new number to you so we can catch up.
Damn ! Hes got about $4000,000 worth of stuff to raise canal fish. I thought this was gonna be cost effective. lol
Jesus, Someone raising tilapia whose English is their first language. Not criticizing just saying easier to understand.
this guy is a genius! lol
Ha.....Thanks.
