How many tilapia can it continues

[@999Garage]

tilapia need 3 gallons of water per full grown fish so 185 gallons divided by 3. Up to 60 full grown tilapia.

[@Heritag131]

How many tilapia will it occupy from fingering to table size

[@999Garage]

The rule of thumb is that one pound of tilapia will need 3 gallons of water. There's 220 gallons of usable space after cutting the top and some of the sides off, so roughly 70 tilapia. Personally, I wouldn't put more than 50-60 tilapia in this one.

[@Heritag131]

I heard that stocking tilapia is unlike catfish

[@999Garage]

That's true. Catfish need 8 gallons of stocking space, each.

[@Heritag131]

Please how tilapia is being rear

[@999Garage]

@@Heritag131 I don't understand your question

Don’t do what I did an think all you need is just water to clean the totes..makes sure you clean the tote efficiently before using that means use a detergent of some sort , rinse well, an then put RO water in the tank an measure the PPM of water.. if PPM shows above zero then you know you have more work to do.

[@999Garage]

Or get a food grade tote like I did and didn’t have a single issue…
