Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Tilapia

No, no evidence of them breeding yet. No signs of nests, and no little ones. But then again, my water is stained from tannins, and visibility is only 24" or so. Rex threw in a couple of orange colored ones, and I can see them cruising around the perimeter of the pond. I have good LMB population, so I need Tilapia at least 6" too.

Once they eat all the FA, they will eat other plants and sift thru the detritus on the pond bottom. That will help reduce the level of muck on the bottom.

I stocked that .8 ac pond extra heavy for the exact same reasons that you noted.
