Turkana Senegal are way thicker than Nigerian senegal in my experience. I have 1x 12" nigerian sen and 3x 13"-15" turkana sen. Check the pic to see 12" nigerian next to my largest turkana.

you think costco tilipia is safe to feed? i was reading the package and it seemed sketchy... hopefully not related had some parasite problems in two tanks... hopefully not related... that was the only common factor?

Not sure. I feed frozen tilapia fillet, didn't specify.

moved turkana into a diff tank. We shall see if it'll grow even larger in a few months. Currently 15"-15.5" or so.

Been awhile. Just some recent photos. I think it's still about the same size. Around 15"
