How long before the little cherubs turn into “Aquatic whoppers”?
As fast as you can feed them! (theoretically, of course). It is a question of metabolism. The fish need oxygen from the water in order to digest the food. The more oxygen dissolved in the water, the more they can digest. That is why in commercial “dense culture”; pure oxigen systems are used. In a system designed to provide all the oxygen the fish could ever want, and adjusting the other variables accordingly (filtering, etc.) Tilapia has been grown from birth to 2 pounds in about 8 months. In my 29 gallon tank they literaly double in size the first day! In a realistic setting, as in your backyard, it takes about a year. Just keep up with the filters and the air and watch the babies grow!. Not so for the breeders though, you want them to stay nice and small for as long as possible. Q: Why do they try to “gulp air” from the surface of the water? A: That is an indication that the oxygen level in the water is low. They are not gulping air, they are gulping oxygen rich water from the surfa
