Just altifrons. I could probably go through Weidners book and find a Rio Something variety that looks closest to mine, but in reality they're most likely captive bred for many generations and may even be a mix of several different varieties. Regardless, I think its a bit far-fetched calling them "Rio" anything when all I'm going on is a picture in a book, if they were F1 or F2 from a known source then that would be different, but I'm guessing these are mass-produced by a fish farm somewhere in asia and are so far removed from any of the wild varieties its pointless trying to identify them.
I have two different "looks" though, one has more redish colour in the body and more iridescent blue in the pelvic fins and a slightly larger spot, they were bought at a larger size from the LFS, who said the wholesaler had been growing them out for some time. The others were [probably] more recent imports that I've grown out.
Full tank shots will come when the tank has sufficient lighting.
