Meadowlark,

I'm not a tree hugger or fish hugger, but I thought tilapia were highly restricted. What if they got into local rivers and streams? Couldn't they have a serious impact on native species of fish, plants, and even river or lake bottoms?

Don't get me wrong, I love tilapia. (especially fried!) There's nothing I would like better than to have lots of them in my new pond with LMB, BG, white and/or black crappie, and redear sunfish. But I've heard they compete by outbreeding other species.
