So awhile ago I asked for an id on this monster when I got him but because he was in breeding mode it was very hard to tell.

My guess is blue fenestratus.

What do you guys think?View attachment 788122uploadfromtaptalk1338609197258.jpguploadfromtaptalk1338609273928.jpg
 
He's got the shape of a bredorhi but not quite the color
 
I see some Hartwegi in him/her. Got the vertical lines on the bottom wanting to show and the red highlights on the rear fins. Its a hartwegi x Something else. Maybe a Breidohi. Just look at the second pic with fry. It's got the black blotches when in breeding mode with fry. Very similar to yours also with the pronounced body shape too. Just my opinion.

Here is my Hartwegi pic and one Breidohri found on the net below. Morph them together and it looks pretty darn close. Presumably yours is a male? It's a broad looking fish.

To note. I have a 8" blue fenes too. Doesn't appear your fish includes this bloodline. I can take a pic tomorrow if you'd like.

yeah a pic of the blue fene would be sweet.

Are you sure yours is a hartwegi? To my understanding they have red faces.

This is my Female hartwegi. I got her when she was all torn up as a breeder uploadfromtaptalk1338653432282.jpg

Yours reminds me of a zonatusuploadfromtaptalk1338653591019.jpg sry bad pic
 
Here's my blue fenes pic.

Tojo_ as for my hartwegi. It came from Cichlid connection at 6" size. Whatever your fish is. It's nice looking. I presume your fish colors up a lot more than the pic depicts. My hartwegi x breidohri is just a guess. Vieja / paratherap ID blends can be hard to pinpoint.
