ID this African cichlid please!

Male hap of some sort... Starting to show some blue. Had the nip in his fin from the pet store. Local fish store gal that sold him didn't know, he was in a 2.99 "discount" tank with a female peacock. She said this was a female that they couldn't sell but he showed me just a hint of blue.. Knew I'd take good care of him. He was REALLY skinny too.

I'm starting to think this might be some kind of jacobfreibergi? Anyone?

 

[joecoones]

No takers?

Sorry I can't really help, just wanted to let u know someone took the time to look. Maybe someone else will drop in with your answer. Free bump.

Thanks maybe he will turn out to be a cool hybrid.

No idea but he or she is pretty though!

Doesn't look like a Jacob. Might be a hybrid. Take some more pics as he gets more color to him.

Female Hybrid is my guess

 

[joecoones]

Here is more color. Seems to be totally blue, little bit of blue on his face sometimes. And the anal fin seems to be turning yellowish

 

[joecoones]

Any takers? More color every day.. Def not a female. And it's not the litho that needs id

 

[joecoones]

Well, I give up. I have decided on an ahli hybrid. Just have to wait for him to show me something more! Thanks all.

Hes definately a male. Looks like his false eggs are starting to yellow up on the anal fin. How big is he?

I have one and I was told it was an electric blue ahli maybe.

I think it is some type of hap. He kind of looks similar to my azureus male, except mine has blue on the dorsal and anal instead of yellow
