Description
The Zebra tilapia, also known as Tilapia buttikoferi, is a species of cichlid fish native to West Africa, particularly found in rivers and lakes of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea.
They are named for the distinctive zebra-like stripes on their body, which can vary in intensity depending on the individual and its environment.
Zebra tilapia are popular in the aquarium trade due to their striking appearance, but they can also grow quite large, requiring spacious tanks with adequate filtration. In their natural habitat, they typically feed on a variety of small invertebrates, crustaceans, and plant matter. In captivity, they usually accept a diet of high-quality pellets, flakes, and occasionally live or frozen foods.

IV. Species compatibility

Catfish, Barbel and semi-aggressive cichlids

V. How to feed this species?

They will benefit from little spineless creatures like shrimp, and will eat any fish food. Additionally, they can filter feed containing zooplankton. They also like water plants a lot, but they prefer fish food that has already been prepared.
