PaPond, you won't find a tilapia supplier for pond stocking in PA...It is illegal in PA to put tilapia into an open system (open system is defined as..any water exposed to weather or unsanitized water touches the ground)
FWIW, Tilapia should be stocked at 40 pounds per surface acre in more northern waters, NOT by numbers! Tilapia stocked into a pond with predators need to be a minimum of 4 inches long...6-9 inches is better. All you stock in the pond are ungraded brood stock.
virtually everything in a pond can, and will, eat 1/2" fry!!! Less than 2% are likely to survive even a week.
