I agree with what RD. said.

To add, I'll go as far to opine that the fish in question appears to have a significant dose of metriaclima estherae in it, but will stop short of categorizing it as 'full' m. estherae of any color morph. It's quite plausible it may be the offspring of an m. estherae hybrd X m. estherae.

I'll also add if you have any other m. estherae in your tank and wish to breed them, it's recommended to remove this fish from that tank due to its apparent questionable lineage.

agreed... especially with getting the one out if you want to breed...

not the best pic in the world but as you can see the male to the right is less orange than the female to the left

a little better shot of a male. I have not noticed the face marking on any of mine and a lot more egg spots.

Here is a pic of the Dom male
