there are over 100 subspecies of tilapia and of these some can make good mates for oscars but other will not. as a general rule they can be quite aggressive and territorial and are quite tough when it comes to water quality.
because of their aggression most of the subspecies are not really recommended for a comunity aquarium......
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!

Yes , we want pics, Staffie.
Sound like a cool school.
And Paul, will these be eaten once they grow big?

@STAFFIE, yes picture please!!!!! the pinkish one we called it "plapla",
a fast growing strain but susceptible to diseases during cold season.
can you check also with your school if it is true that tilapia can
reverse their sex orientation (female to male).

@Noddy, yes bro... if they behave like my previous other tilapia, they will
end up in a griller.... you know me, i started this hobby for foods....
