smokinlee, Welcome!

There are a few different species of Tilapia stocked, in Texas, I believe you can only stock Mozambique. Here in Indiana, I am having Rex Rains, "Rainman" on here, deliver Blue Tilapia to my pond. TilapiaStockers Blues survive the cold the best, but they still die off during the winter. The Blues cannot survive less than 45� water. They provide a lot of forage for LMB, but the biggest reason that I'm putting them in my pond is because they eat Filamentous Algae (FA), which is usually what you see floating around on the top of the ponds in mats.
