Male Metriaclima lombardoi, previously known as Ps. sp. "Kenyi".

The females are blue, all fry start out blue, and males transition to yellow, and yours is in transition, hence looking like a mix.

I said mix because of the upward vertical bar. ;)

I saw that too. I've seen a number of lombardoi with poor to really bad barring and didn't think it was exceptional enough to say it's got some non-lombardoi genetics in it. I've seen the stray upward bar before, and even bars that just start in the middle of the body between two bars. If the intentions are to keep fry, I'd find a male with better barring. If every bar had an upside down bar in between I'd side with you.  ;)
