Looks like their low grade Red Devil/Midas hybrid that they always have.

I agree that it's not a barred midas but I would say its 50%+ amphilophus.

my most recent pic of him. now i most definitely say FH.

 

[benzjamin13]

Now that it's a bit bigger, I agree...FH

 

[Jory]

aha yeah, thats what i keep telling him. thats its stress coloration after a water change though according to him.

 

[benzjamin13]

Does he still think it's a Festae?

 

[Jory]

nope, i think ive got him convinced, but he is now leaning towards barred midas.

 

[Camphilophus]

it looks a lot like this hybrid I have now that's apparently a manaconda(festaeXjag)Xred devil/midas. Here's a time sequence of his growth.

probably the weirdest fish I've ever owned..

 

[Jory]

i love it! if its a manaconda, why did it peel?
i hope his is like that because its nice!
the 3rd pic you posted looks identical to the 2nd one i posted.
