Looks like a venestus x livingstoni hybrid.

*** got a 4" suspected male who is very greedy.

His face looks a little too "clean" to be N. polystigma.

i was thinking the lips look abit diffo.
but my polystigma is young so i have no experience with them =P
thats my educated guess gone XD

no way it's a polystigma...of that i'm sure

Venustus hybrid

Venustus hybrid is my opinion as well.

Venustus x poly IMO

agree

its really nice!!!
although its a hybrid its a fish id be proud to own!
im not against hybrids if they look cool. im not really against anything im from azerbaijan

Well, it's a good looking, nice sized fish, I had a polystigma at one time, and that can not be one, I'm with the others, it's most likely a hybrid, venustus x livingstonii cross.

thanks all for the replays.
i know its a beatifull fish,but i had plans to breed them.
i have two females so i know i have to take him back to
where it came from.
this fish was sold to a friend from a good reputeted discus
breeder. :-?

saturnine If you would ship I would take him so the person you plan on returning it to does not sell him as a venustus or livingstonii. I am addicted to Nimbochromis species and he would look awesome with my other male Nimbos :lol: I am soon to set up a 300 gallon indoor pond so he would have plenty of room to stretch his fins. I would not breed him.
