Is this a Kelberi Spider?

[quasar]

Hello!

A local seller and he's selling these as spider Kelberi. They apparently measure between 10-12". I'm hesitant because the pics online seem very different from his. Are these just regular Kelberi? Or is it something else?

Just a bump and update that the seller now also has them listed as "24k Spider Kelberi".

Seems like another red flag to avoid at this point haha

There are so many mixed breeds out there. I think attached represents a gold spider Kelberi.

Notice the spider pattern on my kels. Really sort of a leopard pattern but this was marketed as a spider pattern.
The pics you have looked to be a diluted mix.

I think I'll just skip them. I found a really nice red pike cichlid instead. Very hard to mix those up.

Thanks everyone for the help!

He's a bit shy, but the bright red is great
