I don't know if this will help but it looks like some kind of peacock.

He asks because there a loads of different peacocks. Sorry wink cant help but it is colouring up nice.

thanks Jock...i've been looking on the internet and i cant find anything with similar markings on the fins..i hope he's not a hybrid

yeah it's some kind of peacock. really cool looking, but odd. i wonder if it just might be a hybrid. peacock X peacock, or peacock X something else!? hybrids are nothing to be proud of....... but he's not exactly one to be ashamed of if he is.

no he's not..i just hope he's not a hybrid so i can breed him..but if he is i'll just keep him in his own tank or with some other males

Very nice fish. Love the markings on the fins. Looks like a cross between an Aulonocara stuartgranti & an Aulonocara baenschi
