Thanks to kay-bee's link I found the unidentified fish in my tank Tilapia
buttikoferi, found at
http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profile...es.php?id=1442 This is a
gorgeous fish but it grows to as big as 12 inches. Mine are about an inch
and half long. Do I keep it in my 46 gallon tank and hope it stays
smaller
or do I see if I can return them?

Thanks,

Nanette


If you own a Tilapia buttikoferi, I'd return it. They require a large tank,
and have problems playing well with others. In a 46 gallon tank, it won't be
long before it's larger and grumpy enough to start beating on it's tank
mates.
