Hi everyone.I think this species is a cross of erythrura and trifasciata; What do you think is the situation?
It is said that it was imported from Czech, the tail color was always close to purple. Is it possible that there is a form between the two species? has such a trifasciata been reported to the taxonomy?I think it's a regular A. trifasciata. When in aggressive mood the third stripe can vanish completely and the fins (in particluar the caudal) can turn redish (especially under certain lighting conditions). However, with closely related species like trifasciata and erythrura it's always possible that intermediate forms exist. But unless this fish shows a red caudal fin and, more importantly, no third stripe in other moods, I believe it to be A. trifasciata.
Looks like a standard trifasciata. My males look the sameView attachment 11743
