thinking about getting some of these, i e-mailed them to quote me a price. this may be a good alternative to tilapia, dont have to heat the water and they are legal to have.

I'm a little bit sceptical ... why is it a registered trademark? Did they actually breed it or is it genetically modified?

Wow that thing is a mutant.

It would be interesting to see how they would grow out in closed system. I am also curious as to why they need bass to control the pop. I would think that they would clean up thier own fry. Specially since they are said to be such aggresive feeders.

got this e-mail today


They are sold as 1-2" fingerlings. The bream would cost $175.00 ($0.35 ea),
shipping is $264.27. You could get 1000 in a shipping container for the same
shipping cost if wanted.

MC, maybe you could split an order with someone nearby. Dave Donley lives a couple hours from me, and we split an order of 150 tilapia. Have them shipped to whoever can handle that many fish better, let them rest at least a week, then the second person can go get their share.
