  • Need Advice !!! Tilapia

    To start I didn't even know what a "live" Tilapia looked like but I do now.    

      Purchased some pond fish that the new owners were very unaware of what all was swimming w/ thier Koi.    It was almost dark so we netted all as any left behind were going to the "kitty" for breakfast.   To the owners credit -- they have only had the home 6mo. / the pond & fish came w/ home / kept fish in good condition even thru storm / knew it was not the hobby for them.
     
    Well, reseaching & comparing pics says besides some very beautiful Koi & Goldfish are 4 x adult & 6 x juv Tilapia.  8O

    What do I do w/ them ??   They can not stay in this container much longer but being exotic & invasive I will not release into waterways.   They were obviously reproducing in this backyard Koi pond.    I DO NOT want them.    Ideas welcome.
    Takers more welcome.

          Nick - little guys probally would be good feeders - I don't have anything to feed them too.   Adults are like 8"

                      I think the State says you're supposed to gut and gill them, but I don't have my little book around to double check.
                      So many things can be a mystery, when all we're seeking is freedom...

                          NOT ME !!    
                          Trying to do the right thing here.   Will not release them but not into the whole waste thing.   At least want them used to some kind of good - even kitty food.  

                          If that's the deal I might can get my brother to do it and cook em too if he wants.    Bet I don't forget what a live one looks like now.    All I ever saw were already cooked     and yes they were good .    

                          Wow, hate to "freeze" one when it has to be done.
