it looks like a hybrid blackbelt x bifa. idk just what I see because it's only frikin one picture. Not sure of the real colors or whatever. 1 frikin picture to help U ID. Thanks for 1 picture.

But yeah I see a blackbelt in it
 
Here's a few more photos,the fish is about 3" long (sorry the pics are a bit fuzzy).

it's a blackblelt yes, but it's a hybrid BB.
 
If it isn't 6" I wouldn't title it a hybrid. These species are so diverse in appearance that it is virtually impossible to determine what it is at that size. But I will agree that it doesn't look like a normal black belt.

it is definitely a hybrid to me. The blackblet in the middle is not there but instead, a few stripes. Colors a lil off too
 
pics from internet. These are Blackbelts
