Hey John, The ones I have for sale are blue/niloticus mixed. They are a very robust fish and should do you well. Are you going to come here to pick up that...
is there a diagram of the plumbing and setup of a nice looking system like the one built in the photo album? I think that would be something nice to have out...
Trav, I have to check if I can have the mixed in Florida without permit. It appears that any hybrids need permitting here. I was planning to have them shipped....
I do not have any plan set for that particular system. It is one of a kind designed for me to take to places where I am presenting so people can see how this...
If you have the money I have the time [:D] . Shipping that large a number would probably be cost prohibitive as I get 16 1" fingerlings per priority shipping...

Wow, I've tried pineapple tops for years and never quite got them to work. Of course you're in a much better part of the world for that sort of thing. Maybe...
