Hi, Dave. This may work, but your friend needs to keep in mind that tilapia don't eat most pond weeds. They love algae, so if that's an issue they will help -- they do at my place. Weed control is more a job for grass carp.

By the way, if there is little algae, the tilapia will eat smaller fish. That's not their first choice, but better than starving. That's part of the reason my FHM got devoured before I stocked my LMB, with bad consequences!
