freddy or a loisellei.
post a better pic' and we could be more accurate.

both are freat cich'.
 
How do you explain the purple-ish coloration on the head? This is present in loisellei, but not in fredrichsthalli. I agree that the fish is not high bodied enough to be a loisellei, but it has loisellei purple-head and loisellei fins. The body pattern looks a lot like freddy though... I'm really confused. Hybrid? :WHOA:
 
Sorry-not a freddy. Males have the spotting on the operculum and a much smaller black blotch under the eye. Females are yellow without the purplish patch. Its a loisellei-no question. Here is a freddy.
