It's not Sewellia lineolata but Beaufortia kweichowensis. The patterns of that hillie is hardly that of the Sewellia.COL;1655601; said:

Nope. That is a sewellia. I keep and breed this species, and subadults bear exactly this coloration. Plus, if you look at the underside of the fish, that is NOT the mouth structure and body composition of beaufortia--lower midbelly, white coloration, and the lack of a disctinct rostral "nudge" region are all indicative of this not being the stated species.
This is, of course, to say that the coloration looks nothing like that of b. k.s; there is obvious reticulation, whereas beaufortia are spotted.
