Comment by Rick Stillwagon on Monday: This is what I will be using with my new pellet fired stove with the water heat exchanger.

Comment by matthew ferrell on March 9, 2012 at 5:56am: Tilapia pick at anything in the tank trying eat the bio-film off the objects. They can and will eat rafts as well.

Comment by TCLynx on December 4, 2011 at 4:51pm: I'll have to leave some one else to answer on this one since I've never had tilapia in a heated tank, which is why I no longer have tilapia.

Comment by Eric Warwick on December 4, 2011 at 11:23am: They bit the heater enough that it broke, so that their water had no heat. Not exactly eating it but I assume some plastic was eaten. Just wanted to know if it's normal behavior.

Comment by TCLynx on December 4, 2011 at 4:46am: How would they eat a heater?

Comment by Eric Warwick on December 3, 2011 at 6:25pm: Has anyone else experienced tilapia eating the heater before?
