Hybrid help

I'd like some help IDing a hybrid. This guy was in a tank with convicts and appears to be convict-like but he is obviously mixed with something else. He's about 4-5" and is very docile. He's beat up pretty bad from being in the tank with the convicts but I think he's pretty cool looking - love that hump on his head! Sorry for the bad pix!

nope hes cold blooded killing convict ( haha sorry had to say that has my pair already is lol )

No kidding! I had no idea that convicts get the cool hump on their forehead so I assumed it was a hybrid.

lol nope. most if not all dominate males ( why yours has that if hes not dominate, beats me ) will get the nuchal hump

Well, thanks tons! I appreciate that you didn't make me feel like an idiot! I've kept fish for over 25 years, you'd think I'd have a clue!

2 of my convicts have such huge bumps that I was thinking there was some Frontosa is their genes somewhere. They have recently developed chin bumps too. They are the hugest convicts I have seen in a long time. They have started picking fights now. I'm really glad I got rid of all the females!

He'll look more like a convict when he gains weight

He is a pure convict. Once he heals up, he should look awesome! Its hard to find good convicts now. Most are inbred or hybrids.
