No one can positively say that the Steel Blue is a hybrid, although it certainly is not a fish found in the wild. It could be a color enhanced strain of a caetei-complex species or a cross between a caetei-complex species and a resticulosa-complex species. The original breeders of this fish, in southeast Asia, aren't saying.
