Fish ID

Hello. Can anyone id this fish. I'm sure it's obvious. But I have never seen one and wanted to know a little about it before I take it. Cause I was offered it. Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert by any means.. Never seen one like that before.. Maybe a hybrid?

Not an Ob hybrid.

Looks to be a hap or peacock species, although I'm not great with IDing malawi fish typically

Protomelas sp. would be my best guess at that size.

So I'm guessing this is not a good fit for a South American tank with a ph of 7.6

Otopharynx tetrastigma would be my guess

Maybe, however that's not something you commonly see available.
