Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Rolling BG/RES Spawn

In my walk around the pond today I noticed some murky water in two different areas of the pond. When I walked around at lunch time, I noticed BG and RES starting to make beds. I also think I have one Tilapia making a nest in shallow water away from the BG. I have seen a total of 4 Tilapia since stocking them.
One of the largest ones was sitting in about 10" of water and didn't seem that concerned that I was walking by on the bank.

This is the first time that I've seen BG trying to pull off a second spawn.

I wish my water was clear so I could see if any fish are trying to spawn.

esshup, are you feeding your fish?? When I feed in the evening, a lot of my smaller tilapia feed with the gills and perch like they are brothers.

Try these for rolling spawn discussions

Thanks Eric! hang_loose, I do feed, but I haven't noticed Tilapia at the feed trough yet. The feeder is on the opposite side of the pond where the fish were released (as if that matters!).

Scott,

I've been in hiding for the past 4 days. Lake cottage in Michigan.

Before we left last Thursday, I saw some RES on the beds again.
