I would agree with you 100%. The guy I got it from is very versed in many species of fish and has won many awards for his breeding, so I didn't question him at all. The more pics I see of bleekeri the less my fish looks like one. What do you think he is? I got him with 3 larger Spectables.
Getting a 550 gallon tank next week...

Hmmm....It almost looks like some sort of Tilapia with that face. I bet its a Nile Tilapia, actually I know it after Googling the images. Go check it out.
It sure does look like the Nile. I'm going with that. 
I got the Bocourti from the same guy that I bought this Nile from and 3 Spectables and a red severum. He is a master breeder and been in the hobby for many years, which is why I didn't doubt him, but he also had a bazillion tanks and fish so he probably screwed up what he though it was. He is moving so he just unloaded all his fish temporarily. I have 5 juvi Bocourti I just got at an auction too that are about 1-2 inches. Can't wait for them to grow out more. That pic doesn't do him justice either. He is really a beautiful fish.

Can you get any more large ones? Im getting a Chucco Godmanni and Nourisatti tomorrow evening, he only had 3-4" Bocs, I need one at least 10" or bigger.
