We're definitely breaking new ground, here.
Anybody as far north as Nebraska, or further, might be interested in various lethal temps for blues, niles and mozambiques.
Could a person do a pond with the following three species?
1. Tilapia
2. Smallmouth bass
3. Rainbow trout
The rainbows could be stocked as 8 inchers (cheap) every October, and the tilapia could be stocked as 7 inchers (too big for smallies to eat) every May.
I would think that this would be smallienirvana.
I'm not even aware of any of the legal issues in regards to tilapia. Obviously I wouldn't recommend stocking them to anybody unless they had thorougly checked their state's regulations.
Are they available through the aquarium trade as breeding adults?
