Live Blue Tilapia for Pond Stocking

If you're looking for live blue tilapia to stock in your pond or lake to control algae/vegetation and to provide fantastic forage for your game fish, you can get them here!

We are in our 4th season as a commercial tilapia hatchery and farm here in Kansas. Over the past few years we have been a wholesale supplier of fry and fingerlings, but this season we are expanding into retail sales and pond/lake stocking. We offer three sizes of blue tilapia for stocking: adults, adolescents, and starter fingerlings.
