Rainman-
I had been thinking seriously about stocking some tilapia in my Iowa pond this next summer (when the water was warm enough, and knowing the cold would kill them this fall), to help control my massive FA problems, and also provide some forage. However, a swapped an email with the Iowa DNR, and tilapia are a no go for private pond owners in Iowa. Only if you raise them in a closed tank system I guess. So I was bummed about that. Just sharing, since I think you had suggested last summer I contact the DNR to see if it would be possible.
best regards,
Luke
