Hello, need some help identifying this fish that came in a bag of feeder guppies:

It’s about 2cm long.

Thank you! Was what I thought but was hoping that it was a peacock bass or something more exotic, hahaha

Any idea what Tilapia species it is? Nile? Banded? Etc...?

Thanks!

The only thing I know about tilapia is... fried, salted or steamed.

But seriously, check out the Egyptian mouthbrooder, Pseudocrenilabrus Philander. A couple of us are trying to get some LFS to bring it in.
