I was looking into feeding tilapia to my bass: pros and cons?

I found this site online: http://tilapiasource.com/zc/blue-tilapia/blue-tilapia-small-fingerlings

They ship the tilapia to you live, but I'm wondering at only a couple inches long will any survive predation enough to reproduce forage?

Anyone have any sources for adult tilapia that can be shipped?


1.7 A pond, 0.5 A pond, 0.75 A pond and 0.25 A pond
Only pond I'm currently managing is 1.7 A pond which has CC, LMB, and BG

Hello catfish,
Theres a couple guys who advertise on here that sell them. After getting some unwanted fish from a farmers market "fish day" sale(white crappie, green sunfish,HBG) I will only buy from a reputable stocking service ever again. What part of NC are you in? I'm 20 min outside WS, and I want to order some too from a stocking service on the forum.

Not sure yet. I have a lake survey next week. Greg Grimes has them too.

I can ship adults and no, fingerlings will not survive predation to do the job.

I have 2 others in NC wanting Blue Tilapia and depending on totals, it may be enough to cover a run there for less than air freight.
