I just ordered my tilapia and then realized I DONT HAVE ANY FOOD!!!

I need to place an order and FAST. Can anyone recommend a feed that is organic?

Hi I have tilapia for sale message me!

She's got talapia Strecha..... she wants food.

First post trying to sell stuff. Top effort

We are always watching......

Hey Charlie do you start dancing like Michael Jackson every time you moderate someone?

Will tilapia eat meat? You could feed them mince until you find another food source.

kinda catchy isnt it... I often walk away from my PC humming the tune. I think it will get anoying eventually lol.



Any protien would be ok.... prawn, yabbie etc. cat bikkies, worms, BSF, grubs and bugs... options are endless till you get some fishy food.

Im not going to lie. The version i know best is the version released from Alien Ant Farm when i was in high school. That makes it a bit more bearable for me

Thats funny. No response for 2 days and then I come today and bam got 6 new posts lol.

It turns out that the tilapia farm isnt shipping fish this week because its Independence Day so they will be shipping next week. I went a head and ordered crumble (thats what they call their fish food) and it should be here before hand.

Yeah, I ummed and aahed for a little while before approving that one, but there was no hyperlinks in it and it may have helped Narny, so I let it through...

Aahhh... your thinking of smooth criminal. Yea I dont mind that one by Alien ant farm. I was confused by the MJ reference for a sec

Buuuut.... I was going for that song "smooth operator" by Sade from 1984! It was actually the name of the group as well. Good record. The album it was on was called 'Diamond Life'. They had a couple of more hits and almost dissappeared. She went solo as far as I remember.







sorry for hijack Narny

No ordinary love is her best song.

Btw, I barely feed my tilapia. Ther seem really happy eating the algae growing on the side of the tank. I end up scooping out uneaten food. They are still growing.

I have had great results with duckweed. I grow some sectioned off in the tank as well as in a separate lot I add fish water to. Duckweed is an excellent source of protein and it doubles on me ever 7-10 days so there is always plenty.

The only problem I have with it is that algae seems to grow at a faster rate with the duckweed present. I get less control over feeding though.

The offset is I don't have to buy fish food.
