Haha, I am only guessing but animal kingdom males are often more colourful than females in order to attract mates.

Nice find, I'm not too sure if it's the same species of tilapia here. There's no scientific name mentioned on that page, nevertheless it's quite informative. Thanks.

Welcome to HLF, Tidat. That's quite a big one indeed, and apparently quite aggressive enough to take on your lure too. Good catch.

It looks like a hybrid between a green chromide and a jaguar cichlid

I'm not quite sure myself but it does have the profile of a jaguar cichlid. Nice catch there!
