Cichlid ID help!

[Illusion447]

We recently bought this cichlid in a peacock tank and he stood out since he didn't really look like a peacock. His colors fade when he's scared, he also has black stripes that fade in and out. If anyone could help us on identifying him that would be great! I'm posting a few pics because he looks different from different angles. His bottom fins is red, top and tail are starting to get blue/green with red spots and his body is blue/green with more of a greenish face. Thanks for the help!

blue ahli? i think.

Not sure about the Blue Ahli, the through did cross my mind but it just has some obvious differences that don't make sense to me. Egg spots on the top and bottom fins. Top fin doesn't seem to come to a point at the end but more ovalish. And its hard to see in the photos but the face is more of a greenish teal type color. Hope this helps, and hopefully we can get some insight on what this fish may be.

These are pictures from today, the Colors showing now are more greenish than anything. Another reason I dont think its the blue ahli. Any help on identifying this cichlid would be great!

it does look a bit like a peacock, bear in mind agg spots can come all over the fins.

It is a peacock. Maybe a hybrid, looks like a red empress in reverse.

Kind of looks like my lake Victoria pundamilia nyererei females.
