I have a 125 gallon aquarium with a few tilapia. I just ordered some more fingerlings but I am also interested in yellow and white Perch. Can they be grown together? Are the conditions for the tilapia conducive for perch growth and if so where can I get some perch fingerlings to buy? Is there other fish you would recommend to grow with tilapia?

I've had goldfish and sunfish(redear) with mine, no major issues other than a racoon getting in my greenhouse and eating my sunfish. He left the goldfish alone. The goldfish were bigger, guess even a wild racoon can get picky.
Knowledge comes from books and classes...Wisdom comes from surviving mistakes not taught in either.
Tilapia prefer warm water while yellow perch and white perch (which is actually a bass) prefer cool water.
You can grow them together as long as you aren't expecting any successful reproduction from your tilapia... but you will have to compromise on a temperature.
