mossambicus.. is that that most would go with?  It is what it sort of looks like with the yellow in the tail and being pink, it's the black that confused me.....and it does look like some albino too...

Really David? There are many sources for pure strain tilapia. I have pure strain mossambicus and aureus, and a male hornorum. Really the only pure strain difficult to find is o. hornorum, and they are available to us (for a premium) as males only so that the few breeders (kellen is one if them) can maintain control.

I thought all tilapia are mix-breeds. the only pure bloods that I know are Sara and Kellen's Blues.I have a few from my colony.

It resembles a red.  We did some research and that is what it looks like is used for the all male hybrid

Those colors are a gang symbol and this looks like an albino from the Dantes Albino gang.  They have been know to chase other fish just for fun and are wanted for harassment in 14 tanks.  Don't mess with these fish or they will put a contract out on you!  Sorry I'm just having fun.   It sorta looks like an albino, It's definitely got the tillapia shape, but it looks like it lost is color.  Poor thing - it's not going to be very attractive during mating.

Can anyone tell me what kind of talapia this one is?

I caught it at a fish farm and put it in my mother in laws tank with 2 others not this colour, it bullied the others to to the point I had to remove them.

It's about 5 inch long.

What pond size should I get for growing tilapias in?

Randall,

thank you for sharing your experience.

The problem with this site is some people do not have experiences. They read part of one article and they are transformed into experts.

I'm glad it's slowing down. The red gills can be a parasite or a bacterial infection. The missing body parts could be due to fighting, or being eaten after death, which isn't good if they're sick. Watch them closely and pull any dead or dying ones out right away.

problem with giving fish antibiotics is that the antibiotics will kill the bio-filter and can wind up in the plants so it is best to do that kind of treatment in a hospital tank away from your real aquaponics.
