Redbreast Tilapia, native to African rivers and lakes, are now found worldwide. They thrive in warm, vegetated waters, feeding on plants, algae, and invertebrates. Males develop bright red chests in breeding season. Hardy and prolific, they are used in aquaculture but can become invasive in non-native waters.
