I need yet another ID

[Jess1ca]

Was sold to me as a yellow fin Borleyi... Believed it as he was black with yellow on his fins when he was 1 1/2 inches... Now he is turning Blue! Any insight?? Apparently my LFS is as gullible as I lol.

It's crazy you know what I started to do before I buy a fish? I ask what kind it is or look it up on my phone to make sure there will no issues.

You should try it!

Really? Coming from the dude who has his Mbuna/Malawi mixed with his trophs and other Vic's, Peacocks and sharks?! Ha, clearly you weren't worried about any "issues" when u were googling and asking on forums before u brought your fish home! Thanks for the ID Convict,, which was the original question... Anyone else have any ideas?

 

[Convict2161]

Haha I said I do that now.... The past is the past

And paint that background

Its most likely a sunshine peacock, hard to tell with the lighting though.

Can you get a better photo, one that shows his colors more? I don't know if its my phone or the picture but they are really dark.

Borleyi sorry,not happy with this iPad ?

Looks like a normal Borleyi to me, I don't know if it's the angle of the picture but it looks to squatty to be a peacock.

Oh he is absolutely squatty lol. I was watching the fish the other day and he came swimming up and I was thinking "where did this guy come from?" he used to be totally black so much so that I couldn't see him against the background and now his face is super blue, with a bit of red on his body... I'll let him mature some more and see what he looks like then, might still have some Color changing to do

Yes, I googled it I didn't know there were other color variations, I thought that they were all black with yellow or orange fins haha! Silly me

There's tons of locational variants, some are pretty darn stunning.

 

[Wyomingite]

Lots of variants. My personal favorite is the "Kadango red fin" variety.
