Lyonsi?

[Dispatch273]

I bought two of these guys when they were about 1" Now they are close to 4" and I'm beginning to think they are something other than lyonsi. I've never had lyonsi before so I obviously don't have much experience with them. I wasn't able to find many pictures of them as juvies using google and the search function for this site is down. Can anyone help? Do I indeed have Lyonsi or are they something different? If they aren't lyonsi what do you think they are? They are very cool little guys.

Not Lyonsi or any fish I have seen. Face seems regani and the rest almost looks feaste but doubt thats a possible match.

Definitely not a Lyonsi, I personally don't recognize it and I'm thinking it's a hybrid. Here's a pic of my Lyonsi for comparison.

Rarrrrg! I knew it! I see a lot of synspilum in them...They came from an LFS near me that usually has their crap together. These were supposed to be from a local breeder too Here are a few more shots I just took..

If I had to guess I would say Segrest Kamfa or "PK" Flowerhorn or some kind of Herichthys.
