More than likely, it's Paraneetropolus Zonatus. Could be a Guttulatus too. I have trouble telling the difference at that size. Either way, beautiful fish!

Fenestratus
 
On second thought, I'm now thinking hartwegi since I believe there's an over-bite
 
Here's my boy

Both Fenestratus and Hartwegi have a lot more red in them. While the fish you posted is likely in the same genus as the one in question, they're definitely different species.

I used to have 2 fenestratus with very little red in them.
I wonder if the OP's a mix
 
Some fenastratus are almost white,some pale pink and some crimson red.A very varied species depending on collection point.
To many crosses in the hobby to be 100% on the op's fish.
 
Definitely a possibility that he's a hybrid / cross. Is there anyway to track where he came from or ask the person you got him from?
 
The person I got it from didn't know anything about it. He got it for a couple bucks at an auction. He did have a nice 12" plus zonatus from Rapps. It was a beast.
