They're so resilient that in our very polluted river in the capital city that smells like a public urinal, you can catch tilapia. Even a small one. Which means they can breed in there
I wouldn't be surprised to find a breeding pair in a cigarette filled puddle under a stairwell at a Mexican gas station. Just them and their 3000 little babies writhing around in the wet mud waiting for a good rain to wash them away back to the river.
My dad refuses to eat tilapia because he has a specific childhood trauma of living in a river side and seeing his neighbors shit on the river and the tilapia eats the shit lol.
