Lol, I'm sure he knows its a peacock...and when you say its mixed, do you mean its a hybrid? I don't think its a hybrid at all. I think it looks like a aulonocara red shoulder, female
a lot of color for a female that does not look terribly large. The anal fin looks rounded but I almost totally ignore that with peacocks. Look at the pectoral fins they have the longer and coloration that I would expect out of a male.
Looks like a male, could have easily been a subdominant one for a while hence the 'female-esque' finnage (or the fins got nipped). As for the species - you'll never know if it wasn't labeled with a correct scientific name.
