Not sure what they would cost in your area, but here in Alabama I purchased 100# of tilapia for $800.00 delivered. According to my supplier they spawn every 19 - 25 days...
I know that they are constantly guarding fry and that I have seen the bass attacking the schools of smaller Tilapia in my pond.
Plus there are really good to eat. We are planning a huge Tilapia fish fry this fall when the temperture drops...
7 Acre +/- pond. Stocked with CNBG, RESF, GS, TFS, FHM, in March - June of 2008, Stocked with 200 3" F1 Tiger Bass in March of 2010... Additional stockings of CNBG, Tilapia, FHM in May of 2011.April of 2012 and May of 2013.
