Ok lets try this again, What the heck is this fish

[dparks87]

I posted up some pictures of this fish several months ago and we could not figure it out then. Maybe now that it has grown some someone can help me tack it down. The longer I keep it the more I think it is a hybrid. I was given this fish by a friend. We fished him out of one of his vats... at the time he thought it may have been a chuco specie but I am pretty sure now that it is not. Any help or opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a V. Bifaciatum...possibly.

Closest thing I could find was V. zonatum...

 

[BlesOne]

Looks like my Bifas, only the bars run horizontally and not vertically or are as numerous...

Hear are some pictures with flash... I am as confused as everyone else. I love the fish and pictures do not do this thing justice. I wish I had a better camera other than my phone.

the face and shape kinda look like a severum but honestly besides that i dont have a clue

well i can say its no severum 100% sure its ot, its a veija or paratheraps , looks like bifasctiatum but could possible be a hybrid veija , a possibility for hybrid would be bifacitum X black belt, but most likely a pure specimenwith not that much color
