Two experiments were carried out to test better stocking proportion according to animal size for tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and tadpole (Lithobates catesbeianus). The experiments were laid out in a completely randomized design with five treatments (in Experiment I) and four treatments (in Experiment II). In Experiment I, the treatments consisted of a tilapia monoculture; a 75% tilapia + 25% tadpole polyculture; a 50% tilapia + 50% tadpole; a 25% tilapia + 75% tadpole; and a tadpole monoculture. In Experiment II, the treatments were represented by a tilapia monoculture; a 12.5% tilapia + 87.5% tadpole polyculture; a 25% tilapia + 75% tadpole; and a tadpole monoculture. In the first trial, mortality rate differed significantly, with the polyculture treatments having almost 100% mortality of tadpoles. In the second experiment, after adjustments in the initial size of the species, there were significant differences between treatments, with the 12.5% tilapia + 87.5% tadpole polyculture and the tadpole monoculture providing the best results. Regardless of the chosen density, for a polyculture of Nile tilapia and bullfrog tadpoles, ideal conditions would be stocking tilapia fry weighing 50% of the weight initial tadpoles and the proportion of one tilapia for seven tadpoles.
