SRT hongi stripes will fade to more of a female coloration at times. This fish though looks more like a elongatus. Perhaps a chailosi. Not sure on the variety. My SRT were more red or orange. No yellow. Also the picture chiclid appears skinnier and longer than a SRT. Could be a hybrid.

Yeah. I'm slightly disappointed since I thought I could trust the seller. Sigh. I'll grow it out and see what it will turn into.
