Gamelle,

How large are your fish? I am not certain whether you have the true A. pertensis or A. cf. pertensis. A. cf. pertensis has a more compressed body than does A. pertensis. I just can't tell from the one photo.

Curtis,

Your fish with the caudal spot are A. pertensis, but the ones in which the lateral band run into the tail fin are a different species, in the agassizii-group.
