I live south of Houston (25 miles from Gulf), and put my Mozambique Tilapia in 3/5/08. I got 10 lbs, which yielded 124 fish (87 2-4", 31 5-6", and 6 7-8"). The temps had been upper 50's @ night and mid 70's during day, water temp was 68F most of the time. We had a 4-day cold spell with night temps dropping to 36F, daytime only 56F. My water temp dropped to 52F by 3rd morning, and I found one floating Tilapia (7"). Since then the lowest water temp has been 67F. When we had a streak of 86-87F days, the Tilapia were running over each other in the 1-2ft water. I have 8-11" LMB in with them, so I am sure some of the 2-3" Tilapia got eaten, but the others looked too big to swallow. The Tilapia also tear up the AQMX 500/600 mix I feed, especially when the water is above 70F.


Thanks,

Darryl
