Peacock bass identity

Can anyone id this bass for me please? Sorry about the photo quality, it's hard to catch him sitting still near the front of the tank. Thanks in advance

Looks like he may be a kelberi, but it is hard to say for certain.

Heres a better(ish) photo. I will add he is around 18" or so if that makes any difference

Looks like a hybrid, mono x kelberi would be my guess.

defiantly has kelberi in it.

Thanks guys. So can we say he is probably not fully a kelberi then?

Spots on the anal fin and pelvic fins.. He is part kel. Maybe mono or ocell. Looks like he needs some TLC. Should be a nice bass when taken care of.

Okay thanks. It's no big deal what he is to me I was just curious. I've had him a day and he is a bit worse for wear but I'm confident in his recovery.

At least you have him now so can get the care he needs ?
