Tilapia coffea is a demersal cichlid known only from Liberia. It has not been reported outside its native range. Because T. coffea has no history of invasion, it is currently impossible to know what impacts T. coffea might have if introduced to the U.S. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is low. Overall risk is uncertain.
