Guys,
My experience shows small tilapia stay shallow, feeding on algae and being chased by small fish. In my opinion, small tilapia are eaten by small bass are larger sunfish. Because they add to the food chain, they add synergy to the system. I've proven in quite a few lakes that survival rates of young of the year bluegills going into winter is directly related to stocking tilapia during the prior spring. Each of those situations has way more 2-4" bluegills available, going into winter.
Right here is why I cannot wrap my mind around the notion that tilapia are a good choice for a trophy BG pond.
