I bought this fish at the pet store that I work at, it came in as an "assorted peacock". It is about 3 inches long right now, and you can't tell from this pic, but it has dark vertical stripes on it's sides and light yellow in it's fins. There are also 3 darker spots on it's sides too. I am just curious to know if anyone can tell me what he is. Thanks :)

looks like a Sciaenochromis Fryeri, but with the 3 spots on the side, it might be a crossbreed.

looks like fryeri to me too, atleast my sub male looks exactly same, very pale coloration and showing vertical stripes when stressed or sleeping, may be what you see as "spots" is partly shown lines ? if its real spots then i dont know, try to ask him who his father is :) atleast you know its "him"
