ID: What fish is this? - Tilapia buttikoferi

[XnSdVd]

Found this little fellah in a man made quarry that had both native and introduced fish. Can anyone ID? it's 3cm long and displays territorial behavour in the wild. Attracted it with saussages.



Also spotted this little creature. Macrobrachium rosenbergii? I'll try to get a clearer shot if i ever go back there. But very unlikely to be introduced.

Currently I have 3 small tilapia in my tank....Chinese new year food covered? Haha...By the way they eat a lot of "Sinking Carnivore Pellets" I try to feed them twice a day...and each Tilapia can swallow multiple pellets at one go!!

Shucks...anyone got better food for them?
