Don, I like it. But then, I like forage ponds more than others. Actually, I guess I just like having a bunch of holes in the ground that contain water and fish. You must have a lot of peacocks to go thru 142 3-5 in. tilapia per day. Dang, I envy you. Are there any other predators? What do the peacocks prey on when you don't stock the tilapia?

What are the chances of losing the tilapia during a monsoon? Why would you install a culvert if you want to seine?

I would expect that, with tilapia in a 1/6 acre pond, you would have to seine a lot more than a couple of times per year.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
