Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Another hole in the ground

WRT the tilapia, I'd say it depends on what you're stocking it for. If you want tilapis for bass forage, there's not much use stocking them before the bass are present and big enough to take advantage of them. If you want to beat down the FA as much as possible, go right ahead.

I wonder what impact tilapia would have on the FHM/BG/CC in a newly stocked pond? We've had good reports from ML & others that they help BG populations in established ponds. But what affect would they have if initially stocked at the same time? Thoughts, anyone?
