I currently am on a search for a Tilapia Buttikoferi aka Zebra Tilapia, (like the 1 in the photo below)



If anyone knows any sites or if you yourself have 1 that your looking to sell, please let me know. Thanks for your help in advance

"Killer. Eliminates all competition."

I saw some the other day at an LFS i went to but those tilapia were the feeder types, totally beige in color. This looks totally different. Like i said earlier, good luck with the search. Looks like an awesum fish.
 
Yeah I haven't seen any at my LFS, then again I might've and never paid any attention too it lol I figured I start searching online 1st until Alex at Aeaquatics is open & then I'll ask him...this fish is very interesting it seems but kinda easy to find, like I said I'm just not too sure if I've seen it before at my LFS at least...but thanks :)
 
my LFS carries them all the time but i am in nashville.

i had a pair of them with a group of new world. one of the buttikoferi grew like a monster and killed everything else in the thank in about 6 months. meanest fish i have ever owned.

great looking fish but i'll never own another.
 
if you ever make a trip down to maryland i know exactly where you can get them almost all the time. i have 1 left from my last batch after he went renegade and killed off his companions. Great Fish overall though
 
Also check out Craigslist, i know here in Washington they're on there for free or cheap all the time. People go and buy them without doing any research and find out they killed all their fish..lol
 
thanks guys, I just made a trip to my LFS and they have a few, so I bought 1. Yeah, the research I've done this morning says this Attitude - Killer. Eliminates all competition. That's why I got him lol I wanted an aggressive fish with colors, something other than a piranha...so far I'm happy with him, I'll post pics in a little bit. :)
