Description
The Redbreast Kurper, or Redbreast Tilapia, is a standard food source for bass in the areas of South Africa that have the climate to produce trophy bass.
The Redbreast has been introduced into a number of dams and lakes as a means of weed control because they can consume large amounts of vegetation and algae. They are typically found at 10-13 cm (4-5 in).
The Redbreast is unique in that it is the only tilapia species that is not a maternal mouth brooder. Instead, the eggs and subsequent young are guarded on a rock or in a crater by both parents. These craters can be huge, up to 61,024 cubic inches (1 meters cubed), and can be seen all along the shorelines where they breed.
