I picked this guy up with a group of red zebras. When I got him he was less than an inch, and was bright orange like all the others.

He's about 2.5 inches now, maybe 3. Peach colored, and the end of his dorsal and tail have peach colored spots, and the fins have an overall blue tint to them.

Anyone know what he is?
 
I have Red Zebra x Kenyi hybrid fry. 1/2 look typical kenyi (light blue with dark vertical stripes) and the other 1/2 are peach colored. Looks very cool I think! (Maybe that's what you have :))
 
This guy is really cool looking. He's in a tank with 3 yellows, 3 electric blue labs and 3 red zebras. This one being different than the rest makes him stand out. He also has grown at a much faster rate than any of the others. I've had him for about 3 months and he's grown from the smallest fish in the tank to the 2nd largest. All the others have grown about 3/4 of an inch in the time he's grown at least 2".
 
I think he's just a male zebra. Some are lighter than others. Males are usually a peachy color with some blue in their fins
 
I would say its a red zebra mix... Female!!! There are only four egg spots five or more for males... But looks small so its still growing.. I like the color, its different...
 
Egg spots are not a good way to tell gender.

I have plenty of male fish with only 1 eggspot. I know they are male because they breed regularly.
