Did you find him at a local pet store and if so how much did you get him for?

you're in florida? if so, they are prohibited down here, although sometimes LFS will have them (Oreochromis) as contaminants in feeder guppy tanks

Actually, the reason I asked is because I caught nearly 40 of them in a ditch near my house after a heavy rain. We have a lot of fish farms in the area so I assumed they were being raised as food. I have a couple photos of them on here from when I was trying to ID them.
