anyone ID them?

[peewee]

was eating at a resto yesterday and they were selling live fish there, too bad can't bring these guys home as they won't sell them uncooked. lol! anyways, these guys have teeth and they look mean. someone ID them? guy selling them say they are caught in a nearby river, I assume estuary but they are kept in fresh.. sorry for the crappy iphone pics, this is the best i can come up with. these are more or less 10" long.

hmm... wierd they won't sell live.. did you talk to the manager?

 

[peewee]

i mean won't sell them uncooked. they just keep them live to maintain freshness. that's it. told them i am willing to pay 3, 4 times the price just to bring them home alive. oh well, they stood by their word.

Oh, as for the I.D: they look like Tilapa; IMO

Tilapia lmao

 

[peewee]

no, there is a different tank for them. just beside these guys. and those were awfully cheap. these ones are like 5 fold the price of the tilapia.

They look like mangrove snappers (Lutjanus griseus), to me.
