Can you feed your fish tilapia?

"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."

What is the life cycle of the tilapia?

From Fry, platies can go back in the main tank at a size of around 1cm, or around 12 weeks old. That is when they are too large to be eaten by the parents. They can take the same food of the adults already, if you crush it up fine enough. You can likely tell the males by their gonopodium at an age of around 4-5 months, and they will start to breed at around 6-7 months. If kept at temperatures around 75 degrees my best guess is that your platies may get around 7-8 years old, but some small aquarium fish can live up to 10 years. That is of course a maximum lifespan, not an average age

Is tilapia the same as chilean sea bass?

Nile Perch, Nile Talapia, African Perch, Victoria Perch, and even the Australian Barrundi Australianus are all confused with the Nile Perch. The Talapia are African ceclids and are omnivorous but can be meat eaters and even cannibals.They are related to but not equal to the perch and some place them in the Carp Family. They are prolific and as such many areas prohibit the transport or even possesion of live fish. They will push out and take over from native fish. In Florida and Australia you may only possess dead fish or meat. The Talapia will push out the perch if allowed to do so and they grow as large as 4 feet long.They adapt to fresh, brackish and even have survived in Salt Water.They are aggressive but are easy to raise in a farming environment making them easily farm raised as a sustainable source of fish protein. (Most of the fish served at Disney World are Talapia raised on site.) They also happen to be good to eat yielding a firm mild tasting white flesh that carries sauces and marinades well.
