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.
Spot on. My pics are bad because the water's bad, the flash's bad, and the lighting's bad. It's 100% a Jeff Rapps fish. I'll try to get better pics soon. I'm convinced it's a purebred fish. It's only about 6.5"-7" long and the colours certainly aren't fully developed yet. Remember, the fish looks very yellow in the pics I posted - but the yellow isn't real.
 
If it is a Rapps fish, then I would say that it is a Fenestratus. I would not question it unless it grows out to be something different.:)
