Tilapia for duckweed? - 05/26/09 03:28 PM
Am I understanding right that Tilapia will take care of a duckweed problem but they have to be stocked at a higher rate than whats used for FA.
I have duckweed in a .085 acre pond. It hardly ever catches any wind so it doesn't suprise me.
Anyways, its covering around the edges and out about 5ft around getting me a little nervous.
I put 4 lbs of Tilapia in about 3-4 weeks ago and they are spawning right now. I think thats like 47 lbs to the acre, is my math right there?
Anyways, before I start getting worried should I just wait and let them handle it?
