All this time thought it was a RTGG...but guess what?

All this time I thought he was a variant of a RTGG (O. laticlavius), but it turns out that he is actually an O. septemfasciatus. Do they even have a common name? I couldn't find one. Very little info on these one guys. Anyone familiar with them?

Thank you for the compliments. He is one of my oldest fish to date. He is currently 21 years old. My next oldest is a 13 yo Synspillum.

Nice looking O.What lead you to believe that it is not the species that you thought it was?
