Doesn't look like any peacock or hap that I know off. I don't recall a Malawi with white blaze and red body. Most like it an hybrid.

Definitely not a peacock. Only peacock with a white blaze is A. kandeense and they don't get that red down their side.

The picture is rough, but if I had to guess, I'd say some sort of Copadichromis or Copadichromis hybrid. The red reminds be of borleyi, but the white blaze and body shape (elongated face) says S. fryeri....

Better picture would help, but could be a Protomelas sp. Steveni 'Taiwan Reef'. Definitely not a peacock.

+1 the red looks more gold to me and both of my male steveni have white on their head

I concur with Mike. It definitely looks like a Taiwan Reef.
