Looks like a pink fenestratus cichlid, I have two of them myself. If it is they grow over a foot in length.

That would be cool since they aren't all that common. The guy has them labeled as a Red Tilapia. I'd rather have them be pink fenestratus !

that's no red devil and no Fene. that is a red tilapia

Yeah, that's a tilapia.

 

[rajzynger]

Tilapia for sure

Do you guys know what the scientific name for this fish is? Is it aggressive like a Butterkoferi? Does anyone have any info on these fish? Thanks

I have had all types of tilapia, used to visit a tilapia farm yrs ago and it is not a tilapia. Tilapia at all stages of growth are more pan shaped. I will post pics of my juvi pink fens when i get home. Theyr a spitting image of that one. Heck google pink fen juvi pics and tell me.
