This was labelled as a "red" front...

What species of front is it? Burundi?

I've seen that before. As prm noted, it could be a result of inbreeding or being fed with color enhancing feeds.

I've heard some LFS will feed it with flowerhorn feeds, making the blue frontosa reddish in color. Of course, this was only hearsay.
