It looks like a juvenile, or female Copadichromis borleyi. How big is it? Here's a pic of my male in color.

Too much yellow in the fins to be a borleyi. It looks like a hybrid of some sort.

I'm sticking to my ID. Don't forget there are red fin and yellow fin varieties. Besides my females have yellow/orange fins, and they are "Crocodile Rocks" which is considered a red fin variety.

I agree with mark on the female borleyi, males even at an inch in length will already have red around their shoulders and some blue on the face.

Yep.....I was thinking of something else, a female Copadichromis borleyi would likely be a match!
