System #2

Finally finished the second system so I can separate the large tilapia (6-8") from the smaller ones (3-5”). I still have the fry in the house. I plan on using the other half of the blue barrel for the first system. 

Babies are doing fine. Growing everyday. Pictures coming soon
Also should have the 80 gallon tank set up this weekend. Have my 55 gallon drum cut in half ready to go for the grow beds

Well I managed to save 7 of the babies. My wife said thats fine. 7 will make a nice fish fry. Put mom back with the other fish.

7 little bugers

Well looks like Sally is going to have 7 babies. They have been out for 24 hours and she looks at me like FEED ME!!. Just a little disappointing but considering everything I did wrong I’m happy with 7. Thanks for all the great advice from: http://aquaponicscommunity.com/group/tilapia-breeding?commentId=4778851%3AComment%3A285231&xg_source=msg_com_group
