Ok I had a thread a while back to ID this fish.

He's grown considerably and is in much better shape, however I'm still not convinced he's p. pulcher, almost thinking he's a hybrid. Picture #1 is a current shot of him and picture #2 is a male krib I purchased from the same batch at the LFS. You can see the tapered dorsal fin in shot #2, and though you can't see in #1, he doesn't taper like that, his looks more like the female pulcher or the p. taeniatus which I have included a photo of in picture #3 (one of mine). Also, notice the amount of red on the krib, the other krib males I have have yellow in the face not red. See picture #2 and my avatar which is my adult male krib who's going on a year old. Picture #1 is definately a male though, he is constantly challenging my other male and when he was in with my taeniatus, he challenged all three males regularly and tried wooing the ladies.
So, anyone have any opinions?
