Scott, this tilapia subject has been interesting to me.
On site observation is an important tool for any stocking plan, especially determining sex of Mozambique tilapia for decision making as to FA and/or forage needs.
Adult Mozambique tilapia are very easy to determine sex as long as they come from the same water at the same time. Before discovery of single BC to control biomass in small pond, I would select all male tilapia .

That is the reason that you and others establish good relationship with suppliers to provide quality products to your clients.

Problem that I am hearing about now is fish trucks supplying feed stores inferior tilapia to sell at higher prices than growers.

This tilapia post pertains to southern ponds only..

Our Mozambique tilapias were stocked 04-08-14 - stocked 10 lbs in badly infested FA � acre pond.
This is what it looked like at the time.


This is what it looked like today, 05-03-14- it was cleaned up in about 2+ weeks!


This is what our neighbor�s pond looked like this morning - located at about 100 yds south with drainage into creek below our pond.




Magic Mozambique Tilapia!
