Tilapia Tank Size

[Mothi]

Hi, is a 200 liter tank big enough for 1 tilapia? I don't know what type of tilapia it is. My brother is offering me a tilapia since he has 2 in his tank and one keeps bullying the other. I also want to know if I can keep any other fish with the tilapia?
I know it's probably a big no but I thought I'd ask anyway, would swordtails or mollies go with tilapia?

Sorry, short answer is no, 200 litre tank is too small for tilapia.
They grow too big.
 
Sorry!

Thank you for your reply. I wasn't sure if I wanted it in the first place. Good job I asked here first.

They're better off in ponds

How big do they actually get?

Depends on what kind. The yellow form of tilapiae mariae usually stays under 8 inches in an aquarium setting. Majority of tilapia species grow from a foot to 2 feet long
