Talapia are fun fish to keep. Here is a pic of my old guy.

Thanks. He's been my buddy for a long time now. I do hope he stops growing soon though, he is in a 180 now and I don't want to get him a bigger tank.

What is the hybrid mixed with?

 

[kdrun76]

He is a 4 species hybrid.

One parent was Oreochromis mossambicus x O. hornorum
the other parent was O. niloticus x O. aureus

I presumed his parents were not only sterile but also both male. Finding fry in my filter was a BIG surprise. He is the only remaining of that cohort.

O. Mossambica can live in marine conditions so technically, they could possibly be considered seafood.
