Is this a Regani?

[Mad About Cichlids]

To me it's kinda shaped like a Blackbelt and doesn't have the colors and markings of that of a regani but was sold as one.


What do you'll think? Maybe it's just stressed out?



Thanks

Not a pure Regani or Blackbelt.
I'd say its a hybrid. Definitely seems to have both species in it.

yeah def looks like a hybrid with some black belt in it for sure, i dont think a regani would lose that much color even if it were at deaths door, and looks like it has slight "belt" and i dont think a regani would show that type of marking, either way it looks kinda cool, would wait for it to settle in a bit and see if anything changes color wise

Looks a lot more like my Black Belt than my Regani.

Thanks for responses everyone


This guy has a nice silver base to him but just doesn't look like a typical regani. Only got him for $15 and he's at 10-11" so I'll probably take it to lfs for store credits or see if anyone wants to buy him.

100% black belt.

Not 100% BB

id def half to go with a hybrid on this one, but def see the blackbelt in it

Was hoping I was wrong about it not looking like a regani.



On a plus note I have a buyer lined up already.

Looks like a pure black belt to me.

I'd have to say Hybrid. It looks a little bit like both to me with it looking more like a blackbelt.
