A caution with a pond full of tilapia with no predators in a warm climate. My tilapia have spawned like rabbits. You can expect spawning every 4-6 weeks if conditions are ideal from what I have read. I have had at least 4 different spawns already judging by the size classes I am seeing. I am currently trying to add predators slowly to avoid mass overpopulation. It also helps that they are tasty and the kids love to catch the larger ones.
The color of my pond is also "browner" I suspect from the orgy below.
Since the op is in Ohio they should all cold kill, but just thought I would throw out an observation.
