Connor, I'm sure no expert, but it seems to me that an important factor would be the bass population of your pond. If densely populated with 8 to 14 inchers, tilapia that size would be quickly eaten. If just a few LMB & other predators like CC and HSB, maybe the TP would be okay.

Would it be possible to fence off a shallow section of the pond to protect the TP?
