Tilapia eat bacteria and algae. We feed them commercial feeds which are essentially processed chicken manure with the bacteria automatically mixed in.
They eat two types of feeds as fingerlings, one mash which is a very fine powder and another which an additional ingredient is added to allow it to float but it too is processed chicken manure.
Once we have enough chickens on the property we can toss the commerical feeds and stop paying for food for the fish. Maybe.
The feeds are not all that expensive but the profit margin on the fish is not enormous so every bit we don't buy will be helpful.
If only the chickens ate fish manure.
