I saw this guy at the LFS with a sold sign on his tank. Can anyone tell me which peacock this is?

Looks like a Auloncara Steveni "Undo Reef" maybe a Neon Blue

Thanks! The picture doesn't really do it justice. This fish is brilliantly colored.

Hi! Thanks for posting. It's definitely an Aulonocara, he is about 4-5 inches long and comes from Africa. Apisto's are smaller and come from South America. I should have put that in my first post - sorry.

if it's not the fancy fish that OA suggested, maybe it's a hansbaenschi?

Thats what I was thinking SGM, but the tail intricacy looks more like the stevini. It might also be a "Usaya" Stevini.

I thought it was a bi-color as well at first but the tail looks more like the Steveni. Also the dorsal fin has that white top stripe.

I'm guessing a Rubescen Red. It looks just like the one I had. White top blue face yellow/orange body with blue specs through it. But I've also seen a hand full of aulunacara that look the same with different names.

I would say it's an Aulonocara stuartgranti 'Usisya' aka steveni.
