I have never established a large population of tilapia in my pond & only rarely seen a spawning bed. The more I have observed them I think they are Red Nile & not the blues I was supposed to get. Only saw them at the beginning of the season when the water warmed near shore. Just a shallow depression & if another tilapia got close there was an immmediate standoff & if too close a fight. Spawning beds were 30' apart. As the pond warmed they disappeared to deeper water & were never seen again till early next Spring.

Not sure where to put my money BG or Tilapia?
