This fish is found widely in fresh and brackish waters in the northern half of Africa and the Middle East.

Depending on the exact species, the maximum length of Coptodon ranges from 5 to 45 cm (2–18 in); the smallest is C. snyderae, which also is the smallest tilapia. [3] Although the individual species typically have different nonbreeding and breeding colors, the sexes are alike.
