Re: afraid the tilapa popluation went down
Tilapias like most cichlids are very adaptive and breed fast. It's not just the people fishing them that slows their reproduction but also other species of cichlids fighting for space and food. They're probably the last few fish to go extinct in Singapore though.

i didnt bring back the fish but the worker said he wanted a few of those fish so i and my friend caught some and gave him the other small ones we release
i also saw some other fishes that people release into the waters examples. koi,toman, huran and peacock bass..i saw other species of chihlids too the mayan chihlid and a pink colour tilapa but the pink tilapa didnt took my bait..
btw i saw some small peacock bass but i didnt manage to catch them..the small peacock bass is so cute

Re: afraid the tilapa popluation went down
Those tilapia are of quite decent sizes, good catch. Have you tried using lures? Maybe the peacock bass and haruans wants something it can chase.
