Hey Wolf,

I am not a talapia expert but it really would depend on where you live. Talapia spawn like mad from what I been told, and they are organic and algea eaters so they do have there purpose depending on what your goals are. Plus talapia cannot live in cold water around 50 water temp they will start to dye. So with that said it depends on where you live. Cause where my pond is they could never be invasive as they would all die every year. A lot of pond owners use them for forage for their perdator fish to eat because they spawn so much. The side benifit is that they also clean up your pond while they are alive. I don't know that I would stock them somewhere where they wouldn't die off but thats just me. Maybe if Rainman sees this post he can give you some more insight on talapia as he raises and sells them.


Talk to you later,

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
