I received this link on another website and didn't know the answer. I know lots of you put Tilapia in your ponds, so I'm sure it's legal, but I don't know how to figure this link out.

http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild/wild/species/exotic/

It's from the Texas Parks and Wildlife website and it says "The organisms listed on this page are legally classified as exotic, harmful, or potentially harmful. No person may import, possess, sell, or place them into water of this state except as authorized by rule or permit issued by the department."

Then in the list of fish not allowed is "Tilapia, Family Cichlidae
All species of genus Tilapia (including Sarotherodon and Oreochromis)"

Thank you,
Eddie

It's not how many ideas you have, but how many you make happen.

3/4 and 4 acre ponds.
