mostly are silver with a little orange tipped on the dorsal fin. sometimes they can show up a little blue looking.

I second the Tilapia motion. The reason i say this is because i see them all the time at a Vietnamese Restaurant that i go to on weekends lol. They have about 15 large ones in a tank and I guess they just take them out and fry them to order.
 
Yeah. I saw a short-body tilapia at Uwajimaya market in Chinatown today. Tilapia seem pretty active. Might get one someday.

yes they are very active.. i googled them and clicked on images these guys can get huge. one picture showed a person holding one with 2 hands and it was dwarfing him. but i couldnt get another name besides tilapia
 
mmmmmmm tilapia you could grow your own food and serve them up with butter on rice haha now THATS going organic lol
 
before even scrolling to the other replies my thoughts were tilapia too. Im just curious as to what kind considering they have no marking at all and are pure silver, im not good with tilapia id.
 
not sure but there activity remids me of a dorado. they cant sit still for a second
