I put one of the tilapia in a new outdoor aquaponics system yesterday, and unfortunately I was dumb on two fronts: the system was extremely full of water (within 2-3" of the lip) and uncovered. I found the fish dead and semi-dry on the ground about 12 hours later. I tried to revive it for about 20 minutes, but it was too far gone and never responded.
species: blue tilapia
weight: 32 grams (1 1/8 oz)
length: 4.5"
age: probably 9 or 10 weeks (had it for 7.5 weeks)
Pioneering in aquaponics and high tunnel growing; specializing in bananas, rare figs, and pure blue tilapia.

Tilapia Grow Somewhat Quickly in a Good Environment...
The tilapia are now around 4" long (individual variance of +/- a half inch). My best guess is that they have tripled in length since my last post less than a month ago, with their mass increasing by a factor of 10.
The first two pics are just with the camera; I shot the last two with my polarized sunglasses covering the lens:
