Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll try to track down some of these Tilapia suppliers. The pond is in Kansas so it looks like that's a legal option. And I guess airation along with Tilapia could only be more beneficial as long as the airation system is started up slowly?
And whats the consensus on adding catfish to an established pond with only bass, crappie and bluegill? A neighbor had mentioned that was not a good idea. But most of the online research seems to support catfish along with the bass.
And can someone share the secret to the monster bluegill I see pictures of on this site?
