Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Tilapia Observation

Hey David! I was just thinking of you last week, wondering how you were faring during this drought. Good rains today, looks like.
I have a question for you. Since you have both tilapia and bluegill in the same hatchery pond, do you feed them? If so, do they interact similarly?
I stocked five pounds of tilapia in May into a 3/4 acre bass/bluegill pond. When the feeder goes off, I see two or three large tilapia and 75-125 large bluegill with a handful of 3-4" bluegill. The smaller fish won't come, and the tilapia seem only to come once the bluegill have filled themselves and are moving away.
In another pond, with tilapia only, behavior is quite different. They come to the feed with more energy.
