A few posts early an ID thread was closed out as a Metriaclima Aurora "Mozambique"........I don't see it, was just curious what features jump out at you to make that call...........I'm not disagreeing just perplexed. Heres a few shots of mine and the link to where it was purchased. 1st pick is @ 1" the rest @ 4"..................gorgeous fish btw.

If you're talking about this thread:

The fish was ID'd as M. aurora, no locale.
What I see is the yellow hints of the pectorals and chest and barred pattern of a stressed or juvenile P. aurora, along with the characteristic large eyes and slightly pointed mouth of the species.
Only other fish i can imagine it could possibly be is M. hajomaylandi, another member of the aurora complex.
 
Unless you already know the collection point of the fish, you should never try to guess or add it later. Just leave it off. It would be impossible to know for sure what location, species is enough.
