Just saw a few baby tilapias in the pond. Should I separate them into another tank? Or is the mother around them to protect them? There has been a lot of algae in my pond lately. So I can't see through the water to see if the mom is there or not.

Thank you David.

No idea why the link back to the AquaponicsSource was not working. Thank you for providing the direct Youtube link.

God bless

Hi,
So let me see if I have this right. The males kiss each other for dominance? I only have 5 fish, not sexed and now three holes. Does that possibly mean that I have 3 males? Because the fish that were kissing each have a hole that it sits over? :-SS I-) I may not have any females.
