One Tilapia breeding colony consists of five fish (three females and two males), each carefully selected as healthy, mature fish that are ready to reproduce. Purchasing a breeding colony will jumpstart your return on investment, allowing you to quickly achieve your goal of raising Tilapia.
The mix of males to females is extremely important when buying a breeding colony. You need at least two males. The two main reasons for this recommendation. First, competition between males can encourage breeding activity. Male tilapia are naturally territorial, and the presence of another male can stimulate courtship and nest-building behavior as they compete for the attention of females. Second, if something happens to your only male, you no longer have a functioning breeding colony. You simply have a group of unproductive females.Â
