Some of you have contacted me through my GreenFin Gardens website and asked about getting some fish via FedEx to grow. I can do that, just give me a couple of days to set up some online purchase buttons. I've got a lot of work I need to do outside after the severe storm we had last night.

BTW, I'm also in the process of building out some other sites that are meant to be more focused on particular side-aspects of what I'm doing. Here's how it's supposed to be (and will be as I build them out over time):

www.GreenFinGardens.com - mainly a diary blog about my attempts at year-round food production to feed my Dad

www.KansasTilapia.com - all things tilapia, but geared toward us Kansans (so kind of farming oriented)

www.TilapiaBroodstock.com - focused on adult broodstock that people can use to start breeding their own food supply right away

www.TilapiaPondStocking.com - focused on blue tilapia as a natural way to clear ponds and lakes of unwanted algae/vegetation while also supercharging game fish growth (the tilapia eat the algae/vegetation, and then the bass/crappie/catfish/etc gorge on the tilapia, especially in the fall when water temps get too cold for the tilapia)

www.TilapiaFryAndFingerlings.com - focused on the little fellas


Like I said, you can't get anything through those websites right now (they're just educational), but I'll go ahead and set things up over the next couple of days so that you can if you want.


In case any of you are curious, the reason why I specialize in Blue Tilapia is because they're substantially more cold hardy than other types of tilapia (surviving down to around 47F, whereas other types of tilapia die off in the mid to upper 50's) and because they're better at filter feeding (algae/bacteria in the water column sticks to mucus in the back of their throats, which they then swallow and digest).
