Tilapia Food

Balanced diets and properly sized foods are extremely important for fast growing, healthy Tilapia.  We offer 5 varieties of perfectly formulated and sized foods to specifically match each stage in the growout process.

Tilapia PowerStart Fry Powder - A fine powder used for newly hatched fry for the first 3 weeks of growth.  The high protein and fat content in this powder gives your fry a headstart on fast growth.  Often times, fry are virtually starved for their first several weeks of life and become stunted because they are unable to consume the larger sized food often offered to them.  Starting fry off right is important because it has a great deal of influence on how fast they will grow as fingerlings and adults.  PowerStart can drastically improve growth rates, substantially reducing days until harvest.

Tilapia PowerStart Fingerling Crumble - Typically begin feeding to fry at 3 weeks old.  Continue feeding crumble until Tilapia reach 2-2.5 inches.  PowerStart Fingerling Crumble is high in easily digestible proteins and fats, very important for optimal tilapia growth at this stage in life.  Tilapia will quickly grow to 2 1/2 inches on this diet.  Slow sinking to deliver food to fish at all levels of the water column.

Tilapia Fingerling Pellet - Begin feeding when Tilapia reach 2-2.5 inches in size.  Precisely formulated nutritional content for growing fingerlings.  Tilapia will quickly double in size on this diet.  Slowly sinking pellet helps to encourage aggressive feeding.

Tilapia Intermediate Pellet - Begin feeding when Tilapia reach 4 inches in size.  Floating pellet allows you to monitor how much your fish are eating.  Helps you avoid over or under feeding.  At 4 inches and beyond, tilapia feed aggressively at the surface.

Tilapia Ultimate Growout Pellet - Begin feeding when Tilapia reach 6 inches in size.  Adult tilapia benefit from lower fat contents while still getting a relatviely high level of protein.  This diet matches that need perfectly.  According to several industry studies, tilapia foods that are high in fat often lead to enlarged livers in adult tilapia, and in extreme cases, liver failure.  This can lead to higher than expected late stage mortality percentages in your growout ponds, which can quickly eat into productivity and profits.  Very few commercial foods available address this problem, but you can rest easy when feeding Ultimate Growout Pellets.  They contain just 6% fat, while delivering an impressive 36% protein.
