If the tilapia get to where you are seeing significant submerged vegetation loss you can do at least two easy things. 1. feed the fish more often so tilapia eat more pellets than plants. 2. Rremove some tilapia by fishing for the tilapia with Stubby Steve's food pellets. Tilapia bite them well and these pellets stay on the hook well to catch several fish.
However I would not stock too many tilapia at the first attempt. Then based on 1st year results stock fewer or more 2nd year. For an 0.12 ac pond I would not stock any more than 6 to 8 4"-7" tilapia (2-3 lbs) first attempt.
