Here is a photo of one of my 6 Tilapia brevamanus. They are really pretty mellow.

Very nice!
How are you keeping them? Size tank? Water params? Food?
I wanted to order a few T. brevimanus from Mainly Cichlids a few months ago but moving got in the way of that.
Not too many people have them. It's good to see someone take an interest in them. There aren't enough photos of them floating around either! Post some more! :D
 
Hey bro!
If you have fry, hit me up. I'm a Tilapia enjoyer as well!
 
No fry yet although there is some breeding type behavior. I did get them from Jim at mainlycichlids I want to get some more of them. I keep 2 in a 29 and 4 in 50. I use treaded tap water which I think is moderately soft and about 80 degree water. They aren't aggressive when feeding time comes, so they don't get alot of food. There are on the small side as they max out around 12 inches or so. You should have seen Jims adult pair they where nice, hes got so many of them they he feeds them to his Dovii. Pick them up at mainlycichlids.com. Also, they change patterns often to thick verticle and thin horizontal stripes
