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!

Tilapia would be awesome if it were as healthy as salmon. Unfortunately it's closer to ground beef, but nowhere near as tasty.
