OP Clay N' Pray C Joined: Dec 2017 Posts: 277 Caswell co NC	Originally Posted By: Bill Cody 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.
