Today’s January Aquaponics Update article is basically just me talking about my basement tilapia setup and showing a picture on sexing tilapia

My intent with growing tilapia in my basement is to learn the process. When I get a “real” homestead I can build a larger system. To do this I need to be able to breed my own fingerlings. Buying a breeder colony costs around $500 and is not something I am interested in doing until I can prove to myself I won’t kill them. I bought 25 “hybrid” tilapia from an individual on a aquaponics forum for around $25.00 he did not know what sex they were and I was hoping for a mix of sexes. Once the fish grew large enough I scooped them out and attempted to sex them. I am told that sexing tilapia is a lot like sexing chickens. That at a young age it is mostly guesswork.
