It is not a Hybrid I assure you.Just because its not Familiar doesn't make it a hybrid.

Then what is it? If you don't know what it is how can you be certain its not a hybrid? Well its a nice looking fish none the less.

Not an mbuna peacock hybrid. Not sure on the mbuna species though. Defiantly interesting coloring on him.

It does look like a lab/elec blue hybrid not at all saying that is what it is I have no idea on what that could be but it is a cool looking fish none the less do you know how old it is and how big is it?
