D50? ID HELP

[acaramania]

imported at my LFS as D50 but doesn't look so considering it's lateral band. I thought it should be one of macmasteri complex species but I couldn't find out.

Looks like a hoignei-subcomplex species to me.

Is there any species in hoignei subcomplex that doesn't show red borders at top and bottom edge of the caudal fin? That fish was about the size of an adult and it's caudal fin didn't show any patterns or colors

Yes, quite some, e.g. the D12-like forms.

One feature, specifically the lack of a pattern of spots on the fish's caudal, indicates that it is not A. sp. "D50".
