It could very well be a fene. I don't want to call it a hybrid because there are tons of Paratheraps/Vieja and they all can look very similar.

Ditto.
I see some synspilum features bit i can also see some fene or bifas in there too.
The pics make it look very synspilum but the top half of the body is actually blue/green. What would be your take now?
I just got confirmation that the fish is Jeff Rapps stock. Purebred. Although some of you might doubt it due to the yellow tint in the pics, which is caused by dirty water and the flash. I need to get non-flash pics to prove my point.
And yes, Jeff Rapps does have a distributor here in Singapore.

its a hybrid,I have fens from Rapps and they look nothing like that fish,the shape isin't even right..
I'd suggest you keep it because that is a terrible picture to make any sort of judgement on. To me it just looks stressed out. Either way it is a terrible picture to use for any sort of positive ID. There are way too many factors that affect the way that fish looks.
Lighting , stress , water quality, characteristics (not all fish in a particular species are identical) and picture quality. I don't think there is enough information to credit or discredit that it is a fenestratus. Way too often people want to jump on the hybrid bandwagon. Wait and see; if it doesn't begin to show more fenestratus characteristics then don't breed it but don't assume that it's not a fenestratus because someone made a decicision based on a bad picture.
