I couldn't find a general id topic so I chose this one. I hope it's not a big problem. Please inform me somehow if my post was moved.

Is there a female cacatuoides variation that has a black spot in the lateral band. The spot remains even when the fish "goes grey" but is harder to detect when the lateral band is intense black.
Kind of similar to these pictures:

Please don't worry about it. This is a typical marking on A. cacatuoides. When the female has eggs/fry, she will lose the lateral band, but normally keeps the spot.
