I caught a bunch of tilapia today, about 13 fngerlings and two medium size ones. I just went out with my headlamp to smash snails eating my outdoor plants and .... I just found 3 tilapia on my grass, the two medium sized ones and one fingerling(dead ants eating him, some ants were on my medium one too)

I put the two medium tilapia back in the pond, they are breathing but lying upside down

Are they retarded or just too wild, they must be the ones i caught today because they were jumping out of my bucket on the way home... On certain cycles my pond water gets high close to the rim of my pond.

When they are moved to a new environment, they to tend to go crazy for a bit, then settle down.
I had 1 meter high guard around my tank, rather than a cover and a small Tilapia can clear that easily as can a medium size Koi.
So now there is a cover even on top of the 1 meter high guard.
And yes, fish _are_ retarded, lol.
