I breed Fryeri "Iceberg" for years, I can not see them (any fryeri) in this fish.That is not your fish though. Yours has a white tip on its dorsal blaze. It’s definitely a hybrid dimidichromis species with another species that has a white blaze, like fryeri or some other species.
Can you post a full lateral view shot of yours instead of a stock pic off the web? That exact image is used by a b’zillion online stores…
It was believed that dimi-comps hit the eyes out of their prey. A belief that has never been witnessed or proven
Protomelas looks like a possibility but I think sometimes hybrid can be obvious but sometimes impossible to determine.100% agree. There’s also not enough lateral compression for it to be a dimi comp x dimi string. The head looks more fryeri or perhaps protomelas. The picture angle doesn’t help much. A full lateral shot with the blue lights off would help, but at the end of the day, it is definitely a hybrid and your guess as to, which is as good as mine
In my current display tank my OB Zebras have spawned with my Mirrorballs, the male is blue and clearly hybrid looking, the 2 females are blotched you would just assume they are OB Peacock females.
. I'll take a picture of it again on my next visit.
