John, tilapia can and will eat FA. However, I find that they aren't particularly effective after a large infestation gets started. It appears, to me, that they are effective when used with other tools(chemical). And, the often quoted 10 pounds per acre is woefully short.

Essentially I believe that they are a maintenance tool. Do I use them? Yep.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
