Can you help ID these fish bought at auction as very young unsexable A.Regani? They are now maturing and i would like a confimation or ID if you dont mind..Thanks in advance. Ste

Ps, sorry for the pics..Not too my usual standard but the fish are in a 18x18 bare growout tank and insisted on hugging the rear glass, these are the best i could get..

Hi Steve,
Now these have matured i certainly dont think they are the true A regani. These have been widely available under the name A regani "Caparari" and to be honest i have not bothered to take pics and id them correctly.
Pleased you have done so.....
Mark...

Look closely at the next to last vertical bar (Bar 6), below the lateral band. Notice how it split in two? Notice the root of the pectoral fins are orange? These are diagnostic for species of the eunotus-subcomplex. It definitely is not A. regani. It looks like a less colorful population of A. cf. eunotus (Orange-tail/Orangeschwanz) to me.
