I have had immense success with sex reversed all-male tilapia (aurea x
nilotica) from Mike Picchietti at Aquasafra in
Bradenton, FL (941-747-9161).  When I purchased  0.5-1" fish about a year
ago, I think I paid about $0.10 apiece, and then
air freight on top of that.

What is "sex reversed"?

To the list - let's revise the reading on this message.  Cheryl Huston wants
to consider an aquaponics set-up for a "small commercial business".  That's
a relative term, as are many of the terms people use when they write to us
for information because they've been "sparked" by the concept.  Using
aquaculture and hydroponics together for all the right reasons - water
conservation, lower costs, higher potentials, more natural systems, clean
food supplies for their families and others, no need to supplement growing
systems with artificial fertilizers, and I could go on and on.  If I had the
time I'd take a poll of the correspondence we've received over the years
regarding the various reasons why people are interested in this type
growing; however, I don't.  

What I'd like to ask is if anyone is willing to have Cheryl (or others) to
look at their currently operating systems, they would post directly to her
or to the list.  This is not a critique of "how" you're operating your
system.   Just a fellow explorer who wants to "see" what they can only
visualize so far.

Management is a key issue, and those of you who've been here can certainly
appreciate that.  I don't think I'll ever reach the point where I feel I am
properly managing the system to it's full potential (kind of like my
children), but others can see and take their own visions further.

If there's no response, I can post some of our original introductions (and I
can do that to individuals who are interested).  This will give all of us a
renewed view of what types of systems are operating and their various
potentials.

Paula,

I'd be interested in seeing what you've got.

I would be interested to see those introductions.
