A friend gave me this fish from 2 weeks. I've been searching since with no answer about its ID. Anyone...? :)

Looks like a male German or Eureka Red peacock starting to color up.

Aha! I googled both and they looked very similar. I really love its color. Btw sometimes it looks so bright where I barely can see the black strips on the body as if it changed colors. Does this have any relation with the fish health?
 
The black barring could be stress related, a new home and tankmates. Just give him some time to settle in, keep the water clean, and a quality diet and I'm sure he'll be georgous. I breed German reds and they are very hardy but seem very timid compared to the other peacocks I breed.
