I am in Wood County in Northeast Texas. I stocked 15 lbs in my 1.7 acre spring fed pond. I have not seen any floaters, but I don't live on the land. Last weekend I observed numerous sizes still alive and kicking. Theo noted in response to my post in the "Questions and Observations" section, that survival might be due to spring water in excess of 60 degrees. My pond has strong flow through so that sounded reasonable to me although it has not really been that cold. Haven't had a chance to measure the temp of the spring yet.
I would appreaciate any response to my questions posted in the "Questions and Observations" post. It is under the topic "first year pond observations." I had several questions about restocking Tilapia when soem overwinter and whether you can overstock Tilapia.
