I really don't think Tilapia will survive the winter where I am located, but I would happily include the LMB to help control their population if needed.

I really prefer to have some type of predator fish, I just prefer not to have to stock with swimming pests if possible.

Again I am starting with zero fish and can go whichever direction my climate, habitat, time, and pocket book can support.

So what would you do if you wanted fun fishing and swimming with close to zero chance of getting nipped/nibbled/bit?

We have a fish truck in the area next week and if I can figure out the path forward I'd like to get started stocking assuming they have what we determine I need.

A lot easier to get the right stuff in than take the wrong stuff back out I figure.
