UPDATE:

Here is the same fish at about 4.5"

I'm pretty sure he's a V. Bifasciatus now. What do you guys think?

 

[the animal guy]

yep. It's built up bifa patterns. Nice fish

 

[lyc]

nice fish but I doubt is bifa

I hate saying this but looks hybrid to me.

Yeah looks like a hybrid from a zonatus with a synspilum

 

[Chrisplosion]

I would say Bifa hybrid.

Hybrid is fine by me. It is my favorite fish I have ever owned . Very social and chilled out. It is the tank b!tch, yet 2nd largest fish haha.

Not a very good picture, but you can still see. Tends to hide in the back and get picked on a bit. Rarely stands up for itself, but doesn't get injured because it is INSANELY fast and the attacker almost never gets a piece of her! Getting quite large now, probably the largest in the tank around 6.5-7". Very colorful, but the lighting wasn't too good for this pic and she was pretty far back in the tank.

Just thought I'd toss a couple of updated pictures on here of the same fish 5 months after the last one. It's around 10" now. I'm still open to hearing what you guys think it is. Sorry for the crappy pictures, the camera I used wasn't very good and washed the colors out.
