Hi,

I have blue and red tilapias for sale. They are about 3-7inches at $1 an inch. I can do $20 for 5 fishes of your choosing. I live about half a mile from HOT.

Send me a text at 410-499-5700 if you would like to come by in the next two weeks, otherwise they will be sold off in bulk.

thanks

No, they are not Nile tilapia.,they are the standard blue and red tilapias

By standard blue and red, you mean that they are hybrids as in ND56? The reason why I ask is that if the use is for aquaculture, knowing what the strain and male/female ration is critical.

No, I mean I have blue and red tilapias living in the same stock tank, two separate types of tilapias. These are not hybrid, or at least they were not sold to me as such.

Are these what they are?

Blue tilapia: http://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/factsheet.aspx?SpeciesID=463

Red tilapia: http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/tilapia/red.php

I think most of the "red tilapia" are hybrids developed to have desired aquaculture qualities.

Anyone know where to get O. mossamibicus (either red ones or wild-type)?
