Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi All,

I have finely received my Aquaculture License and the Exotic Species Permit, and can now sell Live Mozambique Tilapia fingerling fish to other AP'ers in Texas, to grow out in their systems, and sell fish Fresh out of the tank, placed on ice to eat.

Mozambique Tilapia, is the only Tilapia Species that does not require a Exotic Species Permit in the state of Texas to Possess them. You have to have the Exotic Species Permit to be able to sell them to other PPL, or Businesses, Dead or Alive.

I have a limited number of .75in to 6in or so fish to sell to PPL with Aquaponic Systems in the Dallas, Ft Worth area, with on site pickup only.......

For live fish, you need to bring one or more 5 gal buckets with lid, and a small Aquarium aerator with air stones, run from a small inverter from the car cigarette lighter plug in, so they can make it home alive. The .75 to 1.5in fish might could make it home with out the aerator, depending on how many you get, and how far you got to go, but the bigger fish will need it...!!

I have a very limited number of 10oz to 16oz fish that are eating size, and you need to bring a cooler with Ice to take them home

PM me for the prices and my address.......

Thanks
RS

Whoot this is much better than having to drive half way to Houston!

Pretty funny I could barely give them away last winter on craigslist here.

Do either of you guys have a website that I could bookmark? I'm in Lubbock, so it'd be quite the drive, but that's still closer than any place I've found via Google...

Hi Circuits to plowshares,
I really like your Handle, as electronics is my profession, and i grew up Farming and gardening in Lamesa south of Lubbock, and have always had a garden any where i could, since then..........................
I think that there are now more local DFW PPL with new AP systems that need fish to grow out over the summer, and very few PPL can over winter them, is prob why you could not get rid of them last winter, You have to have the Exotic Species Permit to be able to sell any verity of tilapia to other PPL, or Businesses, Dead or Alive.

NoMoreNicksLeft,
I do not have a web site, but you can reach me on this forum any time, leave a message here, or PM me for Price and my address when you are ready....

muffettsman,

My RS fish are doing great - every time I have checked on them they are tightly schooled together like that - I need to put some old buckets or something in there to give them more hiding spots



I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket so have some of the little Frys in my sons aquarium - plan on eventually building a 135 gal indoor tank for some breeding pairs to survive the winter - guess I have a few months to worry about that one / thanks again for the awesome fish RS!!

Hello, I;m new to this forum so it won't let me PM for some reason. Is there any way you could contact me RS? I'm in Fort Worth and am interested in acquiring some tilapia fingerlings from you. Thanks in advance!

hi RS, like to buy some fingerlings to raise . I live in Boyd, Tx. , would like to come see you. please give me contact info.. Thanks - Newby.

Hi RS, I'm in the Dallas area and would like to purchase Fry or fingerlings if you have any available. I can't PM you as the Forum doesn't allow it for people that just subscribed.
