Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Too much TP

Did the TP consume most all the algae?? ??
Did they do their job? How abundant was the algae?
Do you remember exactly how many pounds and numbers of TP did you stock??
I think in TX you are supposed to stock Mozambique tilapia. According to my one study (JR Stauffer Jr. 1986) at 55F all your TP are supposed to die at all salinity concentrations of 30% and below. Keep your pond well mixed top to bottom maybe 12-16 hrs a day and monitor the water temperature. This time of year and 6 ft depth there should be very little thermal stratification with aeration. When the water drops be low 55F all your TP should be belly up or be inside bellies of other fish. As Snipe noted - as the water gets near and drops below 60F lots of the small TP will get eaten by bass.
