ML, I was hoping you would chime in, I know your a fan of the Tilapia. thanks for the contact. I plan to stock TFshad and Gambs as well. Some one gave me the idea to have a grow out pond for female only LMB. I decided to cut that in half and make 2 - .5 acre ponds instead, one for TFshad & Gambs only. Will tfshad grow (spawn) in .5 acres 6'deep with fertalization and no predators? Do you think I can grow enough forage during the spring & Summer to last for the 2-3 mts that the tilapia aren't spawning?
