My wife has this little guy in the 29 gallon for a few weeks already, picked it out of a feeder tank

I'm gonna chime in with a "no idea". definately looks like some type of cichlid.

here's a bump, though.
 
That is as far as I've thought, last time here some folks suggested maybe a tilapia of some sort
 
I was kind of thinking tilapia, too. but my opinion isn't worth much when it comes to IDing fish. unless its an O, JD, Con, GT....
 
I would say some sort of tilapia. That was my first instinct. But what kind, I'm stumped.......
 
I am leaning towards saying it is an Oreochromis, but I am unsure with the species, but since nile tilapia seems to be the most suggested, I'll assume it is that?
 
grow it out :D

Will do! Just wanted to get some early ideas, since it appears it's going to be on the big/aggressive side, and its current grow out tankmates are not at its level at all.
