I've searched on the internet, and have found mixed reviews about tilapia raised in ponds with chara and their table fair. It's also totally up in the air as to how much chara these fish will even eat, but regardless they are still in the water with the noxious weed. I'm feeding pellets, but as most of you know, optimal bluegill food is not cheap. I've read about purging before cleaning, and was wondering if a few days in my aquaponics system would suffice to get any "bad taste" flushed out of the tilapia.
