Call me crazy / or stupid, but that's why I'm posting here.

Pond located near Paris Texas. I need Tilapia for forage fish and algae control so here goes. I have had trouble getting them, or at best is a long drive to get them from supplier and then get them to my pond but certainly CAN get them

I was strolling the local Chinese grocery store here in Dallas and went through the seafood department and Holy crud - there were live - large - tilapia - for about $4.75/lb - about half of what I find them for from fish supplier and more importantly - right in my back yard!!!!!

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THESE WOULD WORK FOR PURPOSES OF GETTTING TILAPIA IN MY POND or is there something about the live ones in the grocery store (such as being sterile) that they won't do the biz???
