common red zebra?

[Jakepen]

I haven't seen to many red zebras like this guy, are his color and patterns common?

I'm not completely sure, but I don't think so. None of the red zebras i have seen have had fins like that.

I agree the patterns on the fins aren't normal but I think he is a hybrid red zebra nice fish!

Mine had fin patterns like that its really cool to look at full grown

Looks like a cross...

My Red Zebra female looks exactly the same. The male reds that turn yellow/orange/reddish, tend to have LESS color than their counterpart females...and at 4"+ will tend to be a duller orange to yellow as they grow older. Great mbunas, have a bad rap for being aggressive, but mine are nice tankmates for other peacocks, haps and mbuna I have.

Also, dont be fooled by the eggspots, imo yours is female. Females will have three or less eggspots "predominantly"....whereas males will have 3+

I don't think it is female, a few times I've seen him challenging a larger male Cobalt.

I have the same fish. So are we saying this is a zebra hybrid?
