Under the heading of "Always Looking for Something New":

So I went to a local pond shop today looking for yellow butterfly Koi.
They
didn't have any, but did have some African Tilapia, which they said would
over winter here in San Diego. Does anyone happen to have any experience
with these guys?

Hmmmm, maybe I can start a fish farm in the yard!

4,000 - 5,000 Gallons.

I researched aquaponics for awhile and tilapia were the preferred fish
because they were so easy to raise, plus their feed conversion ratio was
excellent. Aquaponics, if you're not familiar, is a cross between
aquaculture and hydroponics. Imagine a veggie filter stocked with basil or
edible lettuce and you get the basic idea. Since you were looking for
something new...
