Tilapia

If all goes well I won’t have to buy tilapia to restock and I might have some to sell. The breeders I set up are doing their thing. These pictures are from this morning. The fry actually appeared yesterday. That means they hatched a couple of days before. Tilapia being mouth brooders I couldn’t see them until they came out of the females mouth.

There are probably 3 times as many fry than you can see here because as soon as I walked up they started darting back into the mothers mouths. From what I have read they will continue this for a few days and then become independent.
