I found a bunch of these swimming down a ditch near my house after a big rain. Fish farming is pretty big where I live and I have reason to believe this is some type of tilapia but I'm not really sure. I would apreciate any help you could give me. Thanks

Mozambique tilapia?

It's possible but the dorsal fin looks a little different and the patterns on the juvies is a little different. When I first found these they had two horizontal bars that were kinda broken up a little. I have found pictures of blue tilapia that look similar but I have found others that look nothing like it.
