Woot! Your fish will eat well tonight! Appear to be African....that would be weird if they were a SA/African hybrid!! OY!

Not quite. I was able to net out about 125-150 of the fry. I filled a 20 with water from the 125. That tank already had 2 sponge filters running (1 in the tank & 1 in the sump) for "just in case" situations like this. So, I moved one of the filters to the 20. The fry started feeding on BS nauplii this evening.

I found the picture at pbase.com in the cichlids photo gallery by Steve.

I thought it had a similar style as your fish, maybe a part of the creation

knew they reminded me of something id seen
 
congrats phil....
 
OMG!
I think that says somthing about your reputation, being the local fish guy. lol
I like that though. Instead of flushing them or dumping them in a pond somewhere they ended up on your doorstep.

They're certainly Africans. Tilapia sp. Hard to pin down a positive ID but I'd narrow it down to T. rendalli or T. louka. Possibly even T. tholloni. Very nice whatever they are! :D
 
Very Pretty cichlid ..she has alot of color and nice shape ... and cannot wait to see babies as they grow..:D
 
congrats on the fry
 
Don't you love it when fry a just sprang upon you without even knowing they laid eggs, makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Congrats on the fry and good luck I.D.ing them.
