So do the fish just eat the plants growing in the tank? Or are they fed human table scraps? Edit: Feeding habits - Talapia feed primarily on plankton and small organisms living in or on bottom detritus; most common foods in the wild are detritus, algae, diatoms, and plant material. Age and growth - Grow rapidly for first few months, then slow somewhat but ultimately reach 5-6 pounds by age 3-5 yrs; fish weighing 2-4 pounds common; males being larger at each age than females.
