Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man Aquaponics, and he eats for a lifetime!


Aquaponics is a sustainable farming system that combines hydroponics and aquaculture. The system is highly efficient and environmentally friendly because it uses 90% less water than regular "dirt" gardening and most systems are made from recycled materials. It can also be aesthetically pleasing especially when you add some flowering plants or herbs and raise red tilapia.

If you are concerned about the quality of food you are eating, you can take control by using backyard aquaponics to produce your own food. Today, most people are concerned of the chemicals and hormones that are present in many types of fish and produce purchased from the supermarket. You can rest assured and become self-sufficient with your own home-grown fish and produce with a backyard aquaponics system.

Backyard aquaponics efficiently utilizes and recycles water, which is one of the crucial components of the entire system. The fish waste in the tank water is pumped into the plant grow bed where the roots absorb the nutrients. The vegetation serves as a filtering agent which cleans the water before it is released back into the fish tank.

This system does not require acres of land, just one square meter. Redhead Tilapia Farm offers pre-made, ready-to-go kits, with red tilapia fingerlings at a very reasonable price. Our motto is, "Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man Aquaponics, and he eats for a lifetime!"
