Thank you for your comments,
Since all my syns and Melanurus start showing red colors around their heads, could this guy be a hybrid since it has no red around the head?

it not a syn to me. more likely a bifa or hybrid

 

[BayArea_510]

it not a syn to me. more likely a bifa or hybrid

its not bifa look at the line, i say grow it ut and ask again what it is because the colors are confusing and line its hard to say what vieja it is ,

 

[the animal guy]

not syn., not bifa, not Zona, Not Mela,

closest looking to gutulatus or possible hybrid.

 

[Cenk]

Below are my Guttulatus pictures... I think they are quite different from this fish.





Can we conclude that this guy is a hybrid?

Look at the line? Have you looked at a bifa lately?

My guess would be Bifa. No Mela or Syn, like you said there is no red in the head. Gutts or Hart are out also. Doubt its a Zo.
