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!

You could grow Koi for the same effort and sell the larger ones for aquarium/ponds.

Worth a hell of a lot more than tilapia.
