I thought Tilapia needed much larger tanks than any 4' tank.
The one you have is one of the meanest & can get pretty big.

If prepared properly I hear they taste good too.

I don't really like the taste & usually try to avoid it when I see it served.
I always tell my lil cousins that, that fish on the plate is my RD's cousin.

Thanks guys, loads of great suggestions. Problem of where i live is there is limited variations of stock around. only way to go is to mail order of the net but i havent had much luck with that. Had two sorubim limas on seperate occasions which didnt last too long

Try Maidenhead Aquatics they are situated all over the UK and stock loads of SA/CA Cichlids. Also oddballexpress.co.uk stock a wide variety and with good prices.
