Blue and Black are species names that I have seen before; not so White. Mozambique Tilapia, the only species legal to stock in Texas, probably has more info here at the forum than any other, although we have had PMs use Blue and Nile Tilapia as well.

Here is a little species info from off-site:
Nile vs. Blue vs. Black Tilapia
