So far I can't really tell a difference but it is still early i think @ 4 weeks

Lots of beds and it seems they chase each other all day. Maybe after the spawn the females will get hungry and eat more algae. They have to be eating something because some have grown significantly.

About half of my tilapia were light almost white in color. I have seen more herons and ospreys than normal. And thought I watched a snapping turtle stalking them but that may have been my imagination

One shallow corner of the pond has a big school around 25 fish but rarely see only six or seven around the rest of the pond

I enjoy watching them Its nice to stock something and still see them now and then

I guess time will tell if they survive and eat the algae or all get eaten by the birds
