I am actually surprised you don't have tilapia already. You are hard put to find any water in our area that does not have them already. Unless it is an very isolated private pond. Is the pond part of development with houses around it? I am not sure, but I think the developers put them in for algae/weed control. Lots of smaller more isolated ponds end up with them in it around here also, who knows how they get in? The ones that are prevalent in most the water around NE FL are indeed the blues.
The St Johns River and all the brackish water intercostal canals have Tilapia too, they are all over the place.
It seems you have too many mouths too feed and not enough food. Perhaps simply Selectively removing LMB and adding some breeder sized CNBG but get you back in balance?
