Please, ID this fish

[halconGT]

Hi to @ll, please help me to identify my fish, I acquired it as "mayan cichlid", but now he seems to be a kind of tilapia, what do you think about?

Thanks in advance

It kinda looks like my Catamaco (Fenestratus).

color is throwing me off. probably a normal tilapia, definitely not the color of a amphilophus.

Interesting but I have no clue.

Can not help you with this one.

I'd say it's a red tilapia...a hybrid food fish.

on the money my friend. that is last saturdays dinner. i love how they look in aquaria but they are the pigs of fish

Looks like a hybrid. Definitly never seen one like that. Looks like he is stressed too

Thanks friends, I'm being convinced to be a red tilapia, thanks for your replies

Agree with Tilapia being the pigs of the fish....In California, Tilapia are used as filters for the commercial fish farms grown in the deserts........The Tilapia are put in the tanks where the water drained from the prized fish the farm is growing...The Tilapia litteraly eat the fish waste and whatever is being flushed from the main tanks...........
