Bought a Male Eureka red, and found this what looks to be a female just yesterday. Still at my LFS, just wanted confirmation before buying her?

Sorry, pic of female

Females generally have no color. Buy from a source that will sell you the fish with a scientific name: Aulonocara jacobfreibergi Eureka. Remember you want 4 females not 1.

I would not buy the fish.

Thanks, only problem is we do not have speciality Cichlid breeders in my city. Kinda get whatever LFS orders. Am I right that the male is indeed a Eureka Red?

Neither are an "Eureka", which has Jacobfreibergi lineage. Both are hybrids, unnatural fish, though both could be called "Red Peacocks" in a broad sense.

This is correct.
