I can get GAMs locally, 50 fish for $54.00. After reading up on pros and cons, I think I'll just stock tilapia every spring as a secondary forage.
I buy the tilapia locally by the lb, as meat fish. I usually get 10 breeder sized fish for $20. They definitely breed well in my BOW.
They also do a great job of cleaning up the shallows around my feeder.
They do eat pellets that my CC & BG could eat, but I feed cheap stuff.
