also known as Tilapia from my google search? if so, dont know much about them being kept as pets, though i beleive i heard of it on this site before. As far as my job, working in a seafood dept at our grocery store, they sell good as food. im thinking, and read on a site from my google search, although never found much of an info site for them being kept as pets (didnt really look much), that there is a dwarf version kept for aquariums. All that i know about tilapia is that they are a southern fish farm raised across parts of north america and sold as food. sorry.

I can't help you, but the people in the African Section might be of some help.
