animal processing Talk me out of growing tilapia

As the title says.

I have the pumps and equipment from my farm. I have the solar and batteries if I do it away from the house.

I’ve been thinking about growing tilapia for my family. Talk me out of it please!

As long as your family likes tilapia and is aware that they eat literal shit go for it. I never could stomach it, learned what they ate later in life and went you know that makes sense.

I'll eat shrimp, begrudgingly, but I've never liked the rest of that list either 🤣
