My tilapia have about half the reflexes my bgill have. While they are great at reproducing and assisting with pond control, they do not have the same keen awareness to fear predators. I like that, it carries by bgill forage well into the Winter, the threadfins & shiners appear harder for predators to catch too.
My pond forage base is very thick and well fed, I'm basing my observations on how fast prey flees the area when an intruder arrives.
