I was sold this fish as a two spot but I am not sure now that it is grown.
What do you think it is?
The colors are very subtle and hard to get in a picture. It never stops moving either.
The fins/tail are a golden yellow when backlit. The body has fine spots of the same color under strong light.

My fish doesnt have blue eyes and there are no stripes on the fins. They are 2 tone.


The orange stripe is much closer to mine.
He does have stipes like this and dots on his head. You have to put a strong light on him to see them. I had never done that.

The 2 spot has a minimum tank size of 70 gallons. The Orange stripe is 150. That's why he is outgrowing the 75 gallon tank.

I will put him in the 240. We will see how that goes.
