Is it a forage fish or a recreational fish? Do they reproduce so well that their offspring produce forage while some of them live long enough to become catching size? If all of this is true, I agree it would be great. It just seems too good to be true.

Mozambique tilapia is both forage and/or "recretional" fish.
Here's proof - my Lady and a Overton stocked 3lb tilapia:
