FWIW, Overton can and will provide either sex Mozambique tilapia by inspection as fast as he can net them - I have pictures somewhere and M/F was evident to me.

For years I stocked all male Mozambique tilapia in our forage pond for algae control w/o risk of over-population.

Al, I will try to dig those pictures out of my old files if I can find them.
IIRC, Todd was showing Brian M/F ID when we were at his farm last week?
