Kevin - My understanding is that tilapia are quite tolerant to varying water quality, so they survive well in farming situations. While I'm not farming my own, I do eat tilapia. It's a mild white fish, similar to sole but firmer. I find it to be very versatile. I use it for everything from Tilapia Almondine to Baja Fish Tacos. Whether or not they are the right choice depending on where you live. Not everywhere in the US has particularly cold winters, and many fish wouldn't tolerate the hot summers other places have. Tilapia are considered invasive in some areas so the powers that be won't allow their farming for fear they get out of your system.
