Slurp, let me know if you obtain the permit from the Iowa DNR. I live in Iowa too, and I would like to put some Tilapia in my pond also to help control the fila algae and also provide "food" for my predator fish.
I have bought fish from Rainman before and it worked out great. Maybe we can work together on a Tilapia shipment to Iowa this upcoming late spring from Rainman. I'm also kicking around the idea of adding some paddlefish to help with my pond's water quality. Got that idea from a recent article in the PondBoss magazine.
