This cute little fish is for sale, but no one seems to know exactly what he/she is.

Any ideas?

* This fish is NOT mine. *

I am not sure what category this thread should go under, and mods please feel free to move it if need be.

Looks red devil to me and the black will fade away.

Sent from my LGL45C using MonsterAquariaNetwork App
 
It looks dominantly a faded Amphilophous (rd/Midas).

When a fh crossed to a pure breed, most likely the pure breed gene take over a lot because they are whole and strong... I think this is a FH x RD. See the old fading flower line? Midas or RDs dont have flowerlines like that. They have big spot in the middle, small spot at the tail, and vertical bars..And the gill area is really pink in contrast with orange. That's 3 colors. Should be just orange/white

Doesn't looks like a FH x RD to me. Looks like a faded RD or Midevil.
 
lol

I thought that was kind of strange too..lol

Im trying to say pure breed gene will most likely dominate if bred to FHs because they are 100% of one kind which is solid. FHs have small percentage of many unknown kinds and crossed so much they are weakened. If you mix it up, you'll have more pure breed gene running around strong and most likely will dominate in the making of the batch. But Anything can happen on rare occasion so Im not saying that's always the case.
Oh and the mother's gene is the stronger gene from breedings I have seen. so if the mother is a FH, you get better chances if you want it to look more FH
