Vieja Bifasciatus
 
Like I said, give it a couple more inches. And yes there are different locals. There are the Majarra Prieta, and Rio Nanchatal. I have pairs from both locals. They do have a different look, but not much. One has a little more blue than the other.
 
I know I should have wait more... but took some pictures and wanted to share since there appeared more colors on them.

Bifasciatus are a little reddish, i think guttulatum or guttulatus. specially guttulatus because of blue color around mouth. or maybe i am wrong. need experts idea. her neyse cok guzel baliklardilar.:)
 
Yes Masood (Mesut), my current idea is the same. In the internet I noticed that there is common idea (not approved) that Guttalutus and Zonatus are the same species from different locations. Bence de cok güzel balıklar :D
 
I am leaning towards either Fen, Gutt, or Hartwigi. They all look (to me anyway) considerably different from a Zonatus.
 
Thank you Mo,
Both Gutulatus and Zonatus are not present in Turkey. I am a little bit sad that it is not Zonatus on the other hand I am glad it is not Hartwegi, bifasciatus or Fenestratus since they are available in Turkey.

By the way I know you are a honor member of Turkish forum and we are looking forward to see your next posts.
 
Some more pictures... please let me know if anyone has changed his/her mind. As a reminder last decision was Guttulatus according to the pictures taken 10 days a go.
