Oreochromis urolepis hornorum
The Wami tilapia is a tilapiine cichlid that grows to over 20 cm in length and is considered a useful food fish in Tanzania and the island of Zanzibar, which is recognized as a potential origin. It is tolerant of brackish water and grows well in saline pools, making it particularly suitable for aquaculture by communities living close to the sea. Like other tilapia, it is an omnivore and will feed on algae, plants, small invertebrates, and detritus. The common name refers to the Wami River.
