All I know is that it's African. lol.

It was blue and covered in ulcers when I got him... and this is him now..

(His mouth is deformed though. :( )

Heck if I know. Kinda looks like a bigger version of the fish I have that everyone called a hybrid, and a socolfi, kenyi.it started out almost purple then on day was light blue then went to white now its blue again and gettin darker. Does it ever change from white, or pink? Does it have any Bars ?
 
Looks like a pearl zebra, Metriaclima callainos(pearl or ice blue)
 
Not P. socolofi. Could be white M. callainos or white L. caureuleus. Hard to say without seeing the fish in person but I've never seen adult white M. callainos in person either so naturally I see more Labidochromis in this fish than I do Metriaclima.
 
Well, I am thinking of getting rid of it, but if it's something that you don't see often, I am thinking maybe I should keep it?
