How often and how much do i feed my talapia

burt

I caught 3 talapia for my new 160 gallon pond from the cane field irrigation ditches, so much darn tilapia, 10 secs in the water gets me big bites.

I got 2 big ones and a baby, do i feed them daily and how much cockroaches or worms should i put in my pond daily? I got brown roaches up the ying yang in my yard, i also raise a worm farm for castings.

the general consensus seems to be as much as they will eat in 5 minutes. The worms and roaches can be supplements, like your veggie scraps, but you need a good feed that has a broad range of nutrients. If you use a floating feed, you can keep it floating for 5 minutes, then scoop off the excess.
