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!

For aquaculture they use cross species hybrids which are sterile,
otherwise you get lots and lots of little fish, like raising bluegills
or other sunfish.

A friend from Thailand says they build chicken houses over the pond,
feed the chickens and let the droppings fall into the pond. The type
fish he was experimenting can tolerate up to 5ppm ammonia.
