:confuzeld:I am trying to decide the type of fish that this is. I bought it when it was smaller and was told it might be a red empress, but now that it is bigger I don't think it is.

It looks like a hybrid....but I could be wrong.

I can promise it isn't a red empress, that picture makes it hard to say but for sure not a red empress. Here is one of my old red empress:

i dont believe its a red fin borley but i need a clearer picture borleys have small simple and minimum egg spotts so with better pic i can narrow it down.

It could possibly be a female electric blue (Sciaenochromis fryeri). I have a female that looks a lot like that pic.
