No, they are not exactly the same but closely related. Gurame grows bigger and has a better taste than Tilapia. Its more expensive because its growth is a little slower and its more susceptible for diseases.
Most of them are farmed locally. Sometimes next to the restaurant and so very fresh and tasty!

Hope this helped.

Tilapia is ikan Nila in Bahasa Indonesia. Hope this help you too...
