Tilapiine in Oman on television

[melanotheron]

Hi!

There is a series showing on the National Geographic television channel called 'The Great Human Race'. On episode 104 the people come to a stream in coastal, eastern Oman. The stream is full of a Tilapiine cichlid and there are some fleeting, but nice views of them, both in and out of breeding colors. Does anyone know what species this might be? Native or introduced? It's an attractive fish. Check it out! The place looks like paradise!
Thanks,
Jim

More likely Saratherodon galileus. Native throughout that region.

Thanks to all for the good information! Greatly appreciated. So it appears the blue / black blotched fish eating the fig might be male galilaeus with piebald coloration? They are again, very attractive what ever they might be.
Thanks again!
