Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Large Tilapia displacing BG from nests

I've been watching my BG and RES as the spawning season progresses and the last 2 days I noticed a couple of large Tilapia have taken up residence in the BG/RES spawning dishes.
I talked to Cody briefly about this and am going to try and get some pics tomorrow (today) and post.
I've set and watched a large male fight with male BG on the nest and quickly fan out the nest after pushing the BG out. These are not small BG, I'd say 10-13" males.
I see several Tilapia now slowly cruising over the beds and it looks to me as though the TP have pushed all but about 4-5 out. Not sure that I am happy with this..
I'll do my best to get some good pics of these.

Best I can do.. Can only find 2 BG remaining and Tilapia almost in a timely fashion, cruise through to make sure nothing is around..

I asked Bob about this in Facebook Live last night. He said while tilapia may take over some BG nests, tilapia do not seem to limit BG spawning.

This is the 3rd year I've had them Tim, and every batch acts different. Normally, I catch some advanced fry in the fall and keep them in aquarium over winter, generally 3-5" by the time I can get them out. This year I ran across some adults I went and picked up, these are quite a bit bigger than what I normally grow-probably 8-14" so I may have started the problem without even realizing what I had done.

The RW of my LMB was always higher after electroshocking/tilapia years. The CNBG fingerlings the next spring were more abundant also. I stocked tilapia once, and told T Overton that my only requirement was that the tilapia couldn't be eaten. He met that, but the number of tilapia was very low because of their size. I don't think they would be enough to damage the CNBG beds.
