Look more like a typical Nile Tilapia, not Mozambique Tilapia (usually much slender and darker).
Female Nile Tiapia is usually bland in color, while male had reddish tint on the edges of the fins. Mozambique Tilapia male and female are long and slender, and male had eggs spots on their rear bottom fins Both species interbreed, but both species had difference tolerance in brackish environment. In the pre-90s, these are the 2 dorminant species in all waterways and ponds and reservoirs. But recent years, they are being replaced and driven to extinction by the newer arrival of Zebra Tilapia. Size and Aggression rules. Most smaller reservoirs, ponds and lakes are now virtually populated with mainly Zebra Tilapia species. I could only find Nile Tilapia and rare Mozambique Tilapia in local canals, they are no match to more aggressive Zebra tilapia in enclosed ponds or lakes. My 2 cents worth... |
