Seriously - what is the species of fish

[dpatte]

that they sell in those aquariums in chinese fresh food stores (like the one near somerset and bayview)?

Its probably tilapia, but does anyoneone know the species?

I've seen Tilapia, cod, bass, carp...and have even seen a goldfish or two ....not sure of exact species...anyone?


http://www.aquaculture.ca/files/species-tilapia.php <-found this and there are 3 main species but this one: Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus...is most common in Canada.

Check out the site, it's interesting and maybe the one you're seeing??
