Albino Taiwan Reef?

[ToeB]

Got this fish from a friend of mine who is convinced that they are bumblebee (hornet) x albino taiwan reef. In his tank he has 2 yellow labs, 1 male taiwan reef, 1 female albino taiwan reef, and 1 bumblebee. I think it looks like straight taiwan reef but then again I don't know much about rift lake cichlids and have never kept them. It's about 2-2.5 inches now.

I got a juvie Taiwan Reef and it looks nothing like this. I thought all albino got red eyes??

if you google the breed, there are some pics out there without the red eyes. I guess it could be what he says it is. I thought the same about the red eye and albinism.

for sure-someone trying to test us? he didn't breed it out of those fish. what did he buy the fish,then imagine it was bred from his fish? C-R-A-Z-Y

Seems as though his albino taiwan reef is actually a pink peacock? I'm certain that the rest of his fish are correctly identified. Could it be Taiwan reef x pink peacock?

that is a sunburst-a hybrid peacock.please post pics of his fish instead of guessing what they are,then asking us to guess on top of your guesses!

If your not comfortable attempting to ID this fish... don't. They were in fact spawned in his tank. The majority (3/4) of the fry were very grey with some black barring and some were getting blue in the face. I have the two surviving pink ones from the batch, the other is smaller and with much less orange (maybe female).

I have ruled out the psuedotropheus crabo and the labidochromis labidochromis caeruleus (positive IDs). The remaining possibilities are the two haps. I don't have pics of them. I will try to get some soon. Thanks.

They are just peacocks. We're perfectly comfortable telling you what it is.
