I was prepared for that question..., let the mocking begin! It's a Jelly Bean Parrot Fish.

Yes, I now see why you left it out initially.  :o

those in the link are Blood Parrots,  which are line bred Midas.
Jelly Bean Parrots are typically Blood Parrots crossed with pink Convicts & they stay smaller

But....Chuck,  if you wanted a nice hybrid I have plenty of Flowerhorns over here & would've gave you one. ;)

Thanks for explaining the difference for everyone who doesn't keep up with 'fake' fish.  :P

I would second Blair having nice hybrids but I couldn't figure out how to word it without getting mocked...so...whatever.
