I meant garbage as far as how people raise them.
I don't know about pig poop but talapia are the only fish that can eat exclusively vegetable protein and be table size in a season...try that with trout
Not a problem, if you get American tilapia, where the farms are supposed to be constantly inspected. Asia is another story. I like the fish, but won't eat it if it's a guess as to where it came from. Asia is out, same as Atlantic salmon. Norway is not very particular about their farming practices either. Wild caught sockeye is about it, as far as salmon goes for us.
Fish lice = extra protein lol

Since we're talking fish, try looking up aquaponics. You can raise your talapia and vegetables in one system, and be completely self sufficient in a small space. The vegetables feed the fish and the fish feed the vegetables...you harvest the extra...

The only downside I see, been trying for 5 years and the wife and kids just won't share the pool with scary fishies
You can do the same w chickens and rabbits. If'n I had a pond, I think tilapia would be great.

Actually it's a garbage farm fish, as are Atlantic farmed salmon.
Actually, the majority of Tilapia comes from Vietnam now. In the Pacific they catch the "fresh" salmon, freeze it in ship, take it to southeast Asia where it is processed, re frozen and brought bake here as fresh.

national average for gas as of 1/30/17.....2.408 and as of 03/06/17...2.452
diesel is about the same plus minus 1 cent

what I need now is for something to go wrong and a major shortage of gas and it goes to $4-$5 bucks a gallon for gas only....zing....try running at .60 for that! LOL
Thank you Mr. Sunshine!

Ahhh, what could be better then a cold day on a Sunday and the furnace stops working :rolleyes:

Facing a $135 charge just to show up and $135/hr labor that starts when he shows up (I'm really in the wrong business), I set out to fix it myself.

A little flashing light code decoding and a youtube video later, I discovered a very simple fix that even I could not screw up. My flame sensor needed to be cleaned with some sandpaper. Total time for me 15 mins and furnace is back to humming along :)

You just saved yourself a few thousand dollars in labor!
