talapia dont think its so rare









Same...Was gonna say it looks to be Tilapiaish as well...lol
 
Not a GT or JD...Not sure what though. Maybe a Tilapia, I don't really know.
 
yup...it's not anything south or central american so definitely not dempsey or gt....it's some type of tilapia but not sure which one. Oreochromis tanganicae perhaps? never seen juvies so couldn't say for sure but if that's what it is be prepared for a huge fish...beautiful but huge. :)
 
How big is it? Is it a juvenile or an adult? I don't think ive seen that cichlid before.
 
Nile most likely. Oreochromis niloticus and unless you're expecting to see one properly labelled at a shop and not as some invasive contaminant or as a possibility for the night's meal at a market - then it's a pretty common beast. ;)
