Rubin, Ruby, Rubescent Peacock all the same, it is a selectively line bred fish & is not native to Malawi. It derives from a native like the marleri (sunshine type) I think they came from the German red strain.

nice fish

thanx i found it when i was looking for an orange shoulder....it was brown and 1.5" with a small hint of color only seen if you looked very close..i saw the potential and got it. it turn out great. it came to the lfs in a mixed batch of peacocks.

I agree. Mine looked just like that.
 
It is a ruby red as stated before, not a dragon's blood, not a firefish, not a regular sunshine. It could be a hybrid of a ruby red (german red) and another peacock since it came from mixed tank I would not use for breeding purpose.
