I purchased this fish as one of my first cichlids in my new Mbuna tank about three months ago. The fish was purchased under the board term mixed Africa cichlids. I picked up a colbat zebra and this one. This Mbuna has a black under body with horizontal stripes. When original purchased I thought it was a golden auratus. Now I'm not so sure. Can anyone please ID this fish? TIA

P.s I have a 55 g tank. Well planted. With a marine life biowheel filter that's made for 90 gallons. Just had my water tested p.h. 7.6. Ammonia-0 nitrites-0 nitrates-10. My scheduled weekly water change is tomorrow.

Okay well I've read that hybrids are frowned upon. I suppose when I purchased the fish I just assumed they where a mixed of sepsis not hybrids. Any suggestions going forward with this fish? Should I surrender it to a pet store or keep him?
