Hi Everyone
Can anyone Identify this Fish?
I caught it in November 2007 in Lake Kyle in Zimbabwe. Not even the locals know what it is. I know there are some very knowledgeable people here, so does anyone have any idea?
It's a beautiful fish isn't it?
I released him/her straight after taking the picture.

Nevermind, some of my friends in Zimbabwe told me it's a Greenhead Tilapia (Oreochromis Macrochir).

It is a great looking fish!
Ooooh yummy- I love Tilapia.
Didn't know they were that cute when not encrusted in almonds. Beautiful fish!

Yep it's definitely a Tilapia and boy are they delicious!
I eat tilapia with soy sauce added. No ketchup.:yuck:

Tilapia with steamed veggies, Bearnaise sauce, rice and a filet mignon, rare, bacon wrapped, on the side :D

Tilapia- almond encrusted with a tangy cranberry glaze. Fresh green beans cooked with bacon, finely chopped mushrooms and onions. Buttery spaghetti squash and a glass of Gewurztraminer.
That's my vote- and I'm sticking to it!
