    How long have you had it, could it just be stressed?

    Doesn't belong to me.It's a friend of mine. She bought 10 dime size fish this is the only survivor of that group, that were sold as Heros Labiatus but that ain't no such thing
    I guessing a Midas Hybrid of some kind but that is a strange color for A. citrinellus but he's mean as a rattlesnake

    I think you right I just never seem a solid white Midas without any red marking

    very handsome fish regardless ;)
    and it does seem to have some orangish red from what I can see in the photo at the flanks of the tail and top fin and just beneath the back of the gill.
