Technically speaking, Mozambiques are slower growing than the other two popular tilapia strains readily available in the US (Niles and Blues), and are less desirable as a food fish. Since you are in Texas, Mozambiques are your only choice however. I think you would find that most Tilapia called Mozambique Tilapia actually have a varying amount of Nile and Blue genes in them anyway.
