After the arrival of
the fish we were committed and were now fish farmers. Although
feeding isn't recommended for a couple of days after arrival we went
and bought food to ensure we were ready to start feeding when the time was
right.
As I have said, the
factory is only a short drive and we have a VW Kombi so we could
collect it. This made it easier as we had no delivery charge and we
knew we could always get it when we needed it. It also meant I
wouldn't be sitting on too much at one time.
The food for tilapia is
in pellets. These vary in size depending on the age of the fish. They
also vary in nutrition as well. That is one of the reasons I don't
suggest buying just any fish food. The requirements of the fish vary
at different stages of their life. Towards the end of their growing
they are given ingredients to fatten them up.
Tilapia are a fast
growing fish and with the correct nutrition, can increase their
weight by 3 grams a day.
The chart on the previous post shows the correct amount for each stage of the growing period.
