I think Todd better stated the point that I was trying to make. Having tilapia will allow you to stock smaller, read cheaper, predators. If you didn't want to stagger your stocking times stock small and at the same time.
Mine are barramundi but I would guess bass are similar, mine are growing at about 2 inches a month.
ewest, only the larger fish show up at the feeding, so there is little reason for the barramundi to be there.
