How to catch Black Tilapia
Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.
- Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
- Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
- Common freshwater fish and gray saltwater fish can usually be caught straight away after the bite.
First catch: the creature is added to the Omnidex. Offer it to Mors at the Omni-Gallery to put it on display and unlock its Omnipedia entry.

Black tilapias belong to the Cichlidae family and are often marketed as "freshwater porgies" due to their resemblance to fish from the Sparidae family.
However, black tilapia are highly salt-tolerant and can live in brackish or even seawater. Therefore, it isn't entirely impossible for someone to catch a "freshwater porgy" from the ocean.
