good for you!!!
I've thought about the talipia too. We have a pond in the back pasture that we used to stock catfish in, but it hasn't had fish in it for at least 20 years. Last year with our drought it pretty much dried up, but is almost full again. From what I've read talipia are supposed to be good at cleaning ponds/lakes up because they eat all the plants. But I'm having trouble finding someone who will stock it and not have to drive hundreds of miles.
I'd like to start breeding rabbits again to put in the freezer, but I need the freezer first. I've been doing a lot of research on becoming self-sustaining and would like to work more towards that. Chickens are my first start, now goats. Rabbits will probably be next.
