Help...Looking for tilapia

[johno4]

We are setting up a hydoponics system in our science classroom and am looking for a local source of tilapia. If anyone can point me in the direction of a local source I would greatly appreciate it.

Refresh Farms in Syracuse is a locally grown source of tilapia, actually they are hydroponically grown too, so they'd probably be a great source.

We have supplied one of the local schools with tilapia for an aquaponic system in the past. After trying to expand on that we faced some challenges and after some time gave it up. Depending on the type and quantity you are looking for I may be able to help out. Shoot me an email
