To me it looks to be CB strain that emphasized the red coloration.
My wild one I had for a bit was a lot greener.
Could be lighting as well to help the red pop.

Males not in breeding colors typically look more like this guy.
Yellow to greenish body with the red fins, but them spangles pop!

Most people like the females better and I really like them if their stripes are thick/solid, but a nice male gets my attention
Agree with all the above. However, I've seen males that red, so the color looks authentic to me. The image has been modified, though, by blacking out the background. This probably makes the fish look more colorful than it would in a regular, busy aquarium background.
Here a male I had
Now two females
the two females, were in a tank with a male at the time of the shot,
below one of those females in a tank, without a male
their colors can vary tremendously with mood, breeding availability, and territorial status
