I cant add anything scientific or possibly even intelligent to this thread but I have been stocking Tilapia for the last three years and the quality of my Bass has gone up dramatically. I should have taken some pictures of the Bass I caught last fall. All, regardless of length, were like footballs and one was pushing the 8lb mark. I believe this was all because of Tilapia. My pond is 1 1/2 acre and I put 20lbs in each spring. I also have a good base of bream and I do feed. My pond looks better than ever because of the little scum eaters.
