Yes, the fish is deformed.
You also have 2 different variant of frontosas in there. The lighter colored one is a burundi frontosa, the darker one looks like a Zaire variant. They should NOT be bred together. The frys will be hybrids and no longer valuable. They might get deformed stripes too.

Def. deformed, but the more I look at him, I like it. Looks like a Calvus trapped in Fronts body. He does fit in BPs.
Actually he looks like he belongs with the Parrots sorta resembles that body style but i understand if your not comfortable..

The lighter colored one with the black stripe going across his eyes is definitely a burundi. The purplish colored one is not a burundi. It has the black zorro mask on its eyes. The mask does not extend all the way down to the bottom of its mouth. It is either a Zaire variant or a Tanzanian variant. Which exact variant, I can't say. Without knowing the collection point its nearly impossible. I'm leaning more towards a Zaire variant because of the deep purplish color.
i actually do see the zoro mask now...its very hard to tell though...The Zaire variety is very sought after here in Oz, too bad its deformed...
