Problem Solved:What Fish Is This?

Nowhere near sure but I think you're right!!!:wink:

Welcome aboard, good to have you here!!!

 

Tilapia it is!:big_smile:

 

tliapa is a commonly farmed fish we raised them in my horticultre class

 

Ya might slip on over to the 'Tilapia problem:' thread, and tell 'em how ya caught it.:wink:

And yes, they are good eatin'. If (and god forbid) I run out of fish, I go get some, and fry 'em up. Almost as good as bluegill.

 

Definately a tilapia! We used to raise them in aquaculture in school, and they are very good eating. There's a local place called Sutton Lake where they say they still catch a few, but I haven't gotten one yet. And at 2.5lbs. it was just a little one!

 

Very nice Tilapia, it looks like a Crappie.

 

Never seen or heard of those. Thanks for sharing!

If you are thinking this is the same fish as the one you posted on in 'what kind of panfish is this ,You have shown two different types of fish . The first was a bluegill and this is ,as you noted a talapia ,both very different .

 

I'd say tilapia. I saw a bunch of them at Saddle Creek Park between Lakeland FL and Auburndale FL when I was visiting my uncle.
They are very tasty.
