Would like opinions on this fish

[The Morning]

I purchased this fish and there are a few missing characteristics I thought I would see for what is was told it was but would like to get some other opinions. So let me know what your thoughts are. Don’t want to taint opinions so I will not say yet what I was told.
Regardless I like the fish.

No one able to venture a guess as to what fish this is?

Nice fish but I personally have no idea what it is. What is it supposed to be or what was it sold as?

 

[Niki_up]

Some kind of peacock or hap?

 

[Milingu]

Placidochromis jalo reef female?

Placidochromis jalo reef female?

Perhaps. But I know peacock and hap females are a drap grayish/brownish color. At least all the ones that I'm aware of. So my personal conclusion is that if this an african cichlid then it is a mixed breed fish.

Sorry, no clue.

Jalo reef may actually be the closest fish that I have seen that matches mine. So I was in a LFS few weeks back and they had just unloaded these from a shipment into a tank. I was told that it was a dragons blood peacock. Some of the other fish in the tank had a decent amount of orange but I liked the all white look so I purchased. While the fish was in QT I started to think something wasn’t quite right. The dragons blood that I have seen in the past all had striations on the tail fin or at least some form of pattern. I also feel like it is taller than most dragons blood I see. Regardless. I like the fish, I assumed it was a hybrid and it compliments my albino dimidiochromis as the only two white fish I own.

So that confirms it. There are many hybrids on the market. I agree that it is a nice looking fish.

African cichlids often come in various hybrids, so I wouldn't be surprised if this fish was a hybrid. I also have a "mystery" African hap in my tank that I still haven't identified after 3 years. Nonetheless, this is definitely a beautiful specimen!
