today we'll be looking at an update of my tilapia secrets
as my friend um ultimate fish keeping show would i say
waguan i'm a friend derek from um dead thread 821 would say
uh bless up and greetings uh from jamaica fish keep in jamaica i remember really
no tilapia cichlids are they called fish farm um to jamaica and caribbean and sections of africa
and other parts of the world like in china as a main source of protein uh it is rich
in protein you know it's it it's a fish yeah i have it's rich in omega tree and
it is just um a nice fish to actually consume whether it be rose fry or cook now
remember this video i did uh quite a few months i think it's a few months ago uh check it out
here you have the tiller it's a tilapia farm guys so what happened that they raised the till up they
raised the tilapia to a certain size and then they would process them um turn them into uh whether we
fish sliced fish fillet um burger um fillet uh dinner fish whatever all right and and these are
great specifically for this purple so they go very fast
right and you have a lot of them going down the river going down the stream and trust me i am
not going into that one foot deep mucky water to catch no fish all right but these are there
all right guys you can see them see my snail over there so moving a lot of persons have actually
come here ventured here to catch fish right some persons have been successful some persons have
not like myself let's see if i can catch any still hey guys i was able to catch some fish i'll show
you be doing i'm going to be putting it in one of my pants because if one of them is actually dying
all right i'm going to be putting it in one of my pants to see how well i do it till appear keeping
okay i i i guess i guess you remember no right i went by the fish farm name i and i actually
collected about eight uh tilapia uh small probably about one and a half inch if so much if so if so
huge uh i should i say if so have that size right and uh i actually ended up um getting some fries
um after they reached about probably about four inches right and today now look at what i have
okay these are my two okay these are my taylor they are secrets um today they have actually
given me well that five actually given me about six uh four actually died i ended up with probably
about one left and that's from that box from there where where we saw um a bit um four died so i have
one huge one left but i have about four dozen of this size and then i have a probably about another
dozen or two of uh uh probably about a one inch uh that is within another system so what will i
be doing with these tilapia sick cleans okay so i'll be i am planning to actually consume them
i i tried selling them but um persons uh wanting them to buy wanting them to purchase are a bit too
you know far away and the price in which i probably are selling them for it's too cheap for
me to actually drive that way it makes no sense i drive that far to actually selling so actually
they bred um at wherever i'm at um and not intentionally um no uh tilapia secrets are more
builders and you know more buddhas are awesome to watch right uh you know seeing the fly is actually
being released from the mouth is like you know it's like it's like really being one with nature
it's really awesome right so i actually witnessed um i think i did a video on that where i show you
the fries and i just took them from the pond they were dry apparent and i actually scooped them out
well that in which i could manage to scoop because they are very very fine and they were running all
over the place but this school um actually came up um like they were just released and i just scooped
them up with the net but after we're looking in the pond i saw probably about two or three more
those are swimming right no um i have managed to actually keep them so far in my 250 gallon tote
now tilapia secret is normally kept with um well with the intention well it's normally kept in
um i call it um um aquaponics and the other one i don't remember the other one right where the waste
is actually used to actually um give nutrients to plants or should i say vegetables such as lettuce
cabbage carrots uh tomatoes peppers you know those small uh cash crap um items that people
normally put within a bed i was thinking about actually doing something like that with them but
it's a little bit time consuming right now um so i might i might end up doing something like that
uh later on in the year when i when i finish doing my little um my little greenhouse because i'll be
building a greenhouse in the summer and you'll see that that is a project in which i intend to make
it really awesome and special for you to watch every bit of it as i actually start until i finish
and you know all the works putting into it uh that should be awesome so my tilapia secrets
they are going and they can get really huge right uh they are african cichlids um yeah
philippia you have tilapia from africa i i am not sure if you have tilapia um
being located anywhere else but i know that um you have tilapia from africa right
the ones from africa in which i i'm not entirely sure about the ones in which i have the red ones
but the the the dark ones they have some dark ones from africa and they um for those i know that the
males actually under the brewing that's awesome right the males actually keep the fries in their
mouth and take care of the fries while the female go about her business right wow that's so amazing
right normally you know what that montgomery does is usually the female that has the eggs and and
and chase the females um well and chase the males um for for for the mint to be released so that it
can actually fertilize the egg in the mouth right but but uh the the male tilapia i don't remember
the exact time i probably had a little reading and i probably might place it at a at the base of
this this um this this year because i i'm excited i'm feeling good knowing that um these fish was
actually bred uh not intentionally but they were bred here and they're really looking awesome and
to put it simple i'm only using an ear stone to actually keep them alive guys and frequent water
change so it's not no mechanical filtration system i placed a little plant in it some plants some
um lodi uh denser in it and uh airstone and they are doing really well and they have been in it for
probably well from ever since right and they are the growth is there and and they are looking good
and i've actually placed two pluckers two common player in it and the common player
is doing well too when i first actually um place the common player within this one
um the the pawn was looking green you know a lot of um algae size and stuff now as you can
see it's looking a little bit clear the plica have been doing its work all right a point to note um
uh tirapia is like a vegetarian fish in instance that it consumes well while it might nip at some
small fish consuming them when they are really really hungry but it's it's primary dietary um
you know the ingredient you know for its food food is normally like like microscopic organisms
are vegetable-based type of food like um they really think that like some stuff that actually
form itself on the algae they would nip on it right but i normally feed it um you know fish food
not there the chicken feed food that i said i would feed it reason being that after doing
that video about four days after it will um i saw some fries in it and i wanted the fries i never
and it was an experiment i wanted the fries so i opted to just um stay away from that forbid
until um i have you know a more controlled environment uh probably i might try it with
a few like place them into a different container try to love you and let you know the results and
that's the reason why you have not heard result of feeding my tilapia chicken feed food but
i
