I stumbled upon it at a random pet store in Pennsylvania in a tank marked "peacock bass" for 12 bucks or something, I noticed one of them looked a bit different than the others and only had 2 spots on one side, I actually took a photo of him in the pet store and posted it here to see if anybody had any idea what it was, here's a picture of him in the tank at the pet store
looks like a hybrid of some sorts. Very nice! can you get a clearer, closer, brighter picture. has some O traits but doesn't look pure? In your newest pics if I only saw behind dorsal back it would almost look like an RA kel, not saying it is.
