If you have a close look at the second pic you can see faint horizontal lines which tend to come & go as they get bigger depending on mood as this fish about 10cm.

My first thought was large female electric blue.

[hareysfish]

firstly not all female peacocks are brown ,secondly, some female peacocks have the same markings in their tails as well. its not a female electric blue as its to high and a diferent shaped head to the elec blue.id still say a female peacock of some sort

[LordFlashHeart]

Looks like a Protomales could be red empress.. they all have vertical as well as horizontal bars depending on mood they can show either or both. The Jaw isn't right for peacock, the mouth is too high up the face.

Could be [i:f0bd0ef806]Copadichromis[/i:f0bd0ef806] sp. female. I agree that it doesn't look like a red empress.
