well i am new to the forums. my name is josh and i own a welding company and i have decided i want to start to invest my money into something else. i decided that i wanted to get into aquaculture beacuse i have allways had a love for raising fish. i live in california and i want to raise fish foor food, to the local food distribs. i wanted to start out with tilapia i know thers is farms in california that raise them but i have also hered about them being illegal. i plan to go out and buy all the stuff i need from the tanks, to the bio filters, and all the other things that i need. i was wondering if any one had any insite on the tilapia ? and what permits do i need besides a aquaculture license. thank you for your time and i hope i get some response thank you josh

As in any business........research who your customer base is going to be and how much they will pay for your product! No sales = no business!
you must know first if tilapias aren't illegal to be bred in your place ...maybe call the department of fisheries or something,..alot of person breed them here and they build a big fish enclosure in an estuary coz here it is proven that tilapias that are bred and raised in brackish are tastier..they also use a pellets that is very cheap and makes the fish grow faster..I have tried that fishfood but it creates a cloudy water that is very irritating
