My son had an itch to hunt down some fish. The spot is literally in his back yard.

I have a 100 gal tank and 26 young tilapia fish. This fish caught measured 8.5 inches and about 5 oz. It was caught on white bread pressed on a hook.

I've had the fish working the garden since August 2016. Only then they were about 2 inches. So pretty good growth rate in 8 mos.

The future generation work the garden in a 50 gal tank. I'm guessing about 100 1 -2 inch fish (i had them when they were just little fry).

I'll start a breeding program into the winter and work on the next, next generation.

So far this aquaponic system is working out, except I need to work on the tilapia catching technique. I really don't have easy access and them fish are spooked easily.
