Comment:   This is a mozambique tilapia. Thick-lipped river bream are limited to the Cunene on the Namibia/Angola border. There are some records on the virtual museum if you'd like to see what that fish looks like (very colourful). If this fish was in the same water as the Niloticus in the previous record, then there are probably also hybrids present.
