Sorry for the blurry pics.
Couldn't get camera to focus.

I added 8 tilapia about 3 months ago.
Might this be offspring?
The stripes and lack of the gill spot tell me it's not a BG.

Looks like a baby Tilapia to me.

Yes - Theo has it correct - young tilapia.

Excellent!

They will make a great late season forage for my LMB & CC.
The adults do an excellent job of cleaning up any pellet waste around the feeder.

So far, I have seen zero negatives to stocking them. They do eat pellets that would otherwise go to CC & BG, but there are only 8 fish in .5 acre BOW, so it's not a big deal.

They won't survive the winter, but as of right now, I plan to stock them again in the spring.
