Lol nice is the other fish in picture 1 a oreochromis lidole from malawi ?

i have had no luck IDing the other fish other than it is a tilapia so its possible ur right i did a little research and i think its a hybrid of a spotted tilapia and blue tilapia. I found him in my fish trap in my backyard so it could have been anything because people throw all sorts of fish in this lake
