Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'll introduce them one at a time. Let's start with Denim - he's undergone quite the transformation since I brought him home. Initially, he had a beautiful silver and white barred pattern, but now he's matured into this stunning boy. I'm curious to know, could he be an Ahli?

Next up is Boris - I adopted him from the store, and at the time, no one seemed to know his exact breed, but I had a hunch he might be a red fin borleyi, so I decided to take a chance on him. However, now that I've had some time to observe him, I'm not as confident in my initial assessment. I'm starting to wonder, is Boris actually a female? With his recent color development, I'm a bit perplexed.

Just a quick update on Denim - here's a pic from about a month after I brought him home.

This is Domo, who was supposed to be a Fireline Mloto, but I'm having my doubts. What's your take on him?
By the way, I had some trouble attaching the before pic of Denim earlier, so here it is again.

Still waiting for some input.

Based on your pics, I'd say pic 1 is a s.fryeri. Pics 2 and 3, I'm thinking a protomelas, likely a red empress. Pic 4 seems to be a capidochromis, but can't narrow it down further. Pic 5, I'm leaning towards a peacock, but I'd need a clearer pic with more color to give a specific species.
