    Can you tell what this is?

    It came in my bag of feeder fish, along with a very beautiful corydora! They are now in my little community tank.

    My suspicion is it's a very young (spotted) tilapia. But I can't be sure. What do you reckon?

    Thanks Misery!

    I've been keeping a keener eye on it the past two days and it does swim quite like a tilapia. Extremely active, fast moving, and suddenly stops and hover in mid-water. Interesting little fellow.

    Corydoras in your bag of feeders? Wow! Is it a bronze or peppered, or one of the more uncommon species?

    I've seen small gobies mixed in with the feeder guppies/mollies/mosquitofish before.
    Small is beautiful.

    Definitely a Tilapia. I had the same situation once and was curious to find out what it was.. So i reared it for a couple of months and it grew so fast and ate so much, it became a pain to upkeep!

    Hope it's a rare corydora! Haha... The feeder fishes I buy are all neatly packed so no way for me to get a bonus or two..
