"Tilapia eat plants, love protein-rich duckweed (equal in protein to commercial fish feed) and also filter algae from the water using tiny combs in their gills. Combining duckweed and commercial fish feed is good, but tilapia grow ok on duckweed alone. As concerns about Mercury contamination in fish increases, pond-raised tilapia are a safe toxin-free food because they do not build up environmental pollutants in their meat - unlike the wild carnivorous predator or scavenger fish species. Vegetarian tilapia with scales are kosher to eat according to Jewish dietary guidelines."
