Pond Boss
I am planning on having 2 ponds, one was going to be a catfish only pond and the other would be bass/bream. I am now considering putting Tilapia with my catfish.

Just wondering if anyone would have some input on this ??
It is illegal to have tilapia in Louisiana.

Wow, really.... I did not know that. I guess that answers that question lol... thanks
It looks like it's possible to get permitting but probably out of the scope of your project

Sorry if I gave the wrong information. I chimed in bc I questioned before if tilapia would survive in Louisiana and I was told that you can't have them here.
Thanks for the info, I dont think i want tilapia that bad lol. They pretty good eating, so i was considering it but i dont wanna have to jump through hoops.
