Bit too yellow for a strawberry. This is Haiven's.

I'd say it's a sunshine peacock.

Ummmmm I have 4 of Haiven's strawberry's and mine look like his. I don't see the yellow your talking about T......unless I am looking at the back fish and your looking at the front...
But that's a yellow lab.....:D

Ummmm, I see a lot of yellow and I'm looking at the fish in the middle of the pic. Yes, the others are yellow labs. I got a ton of those!

I agree with Brandy, that looks like a strawberry.

As stated above-Its the line bred/hybrid, man-made Aul. sp Strawberry or Aul. sp Fire, whatever you want to call them. Its not a true species-many breeders in Florida and Asia have their own version of this fish. That is why Haiven's looks different-kinda like Flowerhorns.

Thank you for the explanation, Grey. There's so many variations out there anymore that it is getting harder to tell what is what. Regardless of what it is, it's a pretty fish and I'm sure a nice addition.

Is a type of strawberry. There are different color variations due to line breeding.
