Pretty sure it's not an African. I've kept many sa/ca in my time but never seen one like this possible hybrid

Mine was not a hybrid, they just go thru many color changes in the course of a day.
It had just been fished out of my 400 gal kiddy pool pond, and put in a relatively bare tank. Here are some shots of the same fish.




It was interesting to me, that after being kept in the kiddy pool with lots of space, they seemed to become more elongated, they had grown up in a 75 gal, from 1"
