Removing 1000-s of Invasive Species- from Back Yard POND! --How to-- Rem1061: Tilapia do not eat the same food as bream, nor bass. They are strictly algae eaters and do not compete with the other fish. They do get eaten by the bass when small, so actually take some of the -load- off your bream/sunfish. They also die off if you have cold winters. If you don't want them in your ponds that is fine, but they do a good job of -Cleaning- out the excess algae in ponds that rob the water of oxygen.

I'm not sure you understand what a -species- of fish is. You can't possibly have -1, 000's of species of fish- in your pond, much less 1, 000's of -Invasive species-. You might have thousands of one or two invasive species, such as the Tilapia, which is the only species of invasive fish you mentioned, but not 1, 000's of Invasive Species as the title of your video says.

Here in north Texas, we stock tilipia in summer to have babies for the bass to eat. When the water temperature drops below 45 degrees, the tilipia die. So they get really lethargic in the fall when the bass are putting on weight for winter. You have to stock them every year, but they suppport the bass growth.

I remember my dad catching a 3 ft long spoonbill while throwing his net for shad. It was at horseshoe lake in Southern Illinois back in 88-89. Thanks to my father, uncle, and 2 grandfather's, I was blessed to experience a life of fishing and hunting. Love to see the little ones evolved. great video

You'll want to get rid of the crappie too if you're wanting to make it a healthy ecosystem for bass and bluegill. Sustaining a healthy crappie population over time is very difficult and they aren't suited for small farm ponds. Also, as sight feeders, they don't do very well in muddy water.

Agreed Gabe! I had a cast net growing up and I could spend the day out just doing that, when the fishing was bad I-d go off and start cast netting to pass the time plus you learn so much about the native species cause you never know what you-re going to bring up in the net!

We are having problems in the Vancouver Canada area Fraser river watershed with invasive species this water shed system is one of the major systems for Salmon in North America, the sloughs and creeks and lakes are getting full of Bass and Black Crappies

I know I am late for this time around, but next time; there are plenty of reptile keepers in Florida that would use those smaller tilapia that people wouldn't be able to eat. :) Kamp Kenan, Chandler's Wildlife, Tom Crutchfield, etc.

If you-re serious about getting those tilapia out you gotta be out there every day making 50 throws and increase the predators that-ll eat them. Probably not a bad idea to leave some in there though because they-re fairly great eating!

In the late 70-s-80-s Florida Fish and Game released -sterile- Tilapia into various Florida Lakes. I saw Bluegill, Specks and Bass populations plummet in the small lakes I used to fish in the Orange Groves (now subdivisions.
