Tilapia is an omnivorous fish that feeds mainly on plant food. Tilapia cannot tolerate low temperatures and freeze to death at around 10 degrees Celsius. Some tilapia hatch by mouth, which means that females hold fertilized eggs in their mouths until they hatch into young. This behavior is very beneficial for their reproduction.

Before some tilapia reproduce, the male digs the substrate and builds a strongly territorial potted nest. The female lays her eggs in the nest and holds the young in her mouth after they hatch.
