I just added about 100 juvinile tilapia a few weeks ago. They are in the pond ditch system. If they survive the bass and catfish maybe they can help. I an relieved they eat that. I know they don't eat certain things.
I work so I can buy things, give things & do things...
How big is the pond? Think the going rate is 5#_10# per acre. Call Overton fisheries and maybe add some larger ones. Where did you find some that survived the cold..... hope they were tilapia and not some other critter that might not be so welcome
Johnny, I couldn't help but notice that the pond has a 10 year history with no FA. What do you think is different now? Has anything changed this past year that may be related to this outbreak?

They are Mozambique Tilapia I bought in the past for my pond. I keep some in my aquarium in the house. The pond is small, just under 1/2 acre, but it is over 25' deep in the center. Cut out of clay.

It seems to be a little more stagnant and more plants around the edges. I may try using some shoreline defense, but I don't know if that will hurt the health of my pond.
