Hey guys, saw this at my lfs today and had to have it. Never seen one with this coloring in a store before. Every other pbass in the tank was classic mono colored except him. They just got him this morning as a loner.

Unfortunately when I was putting him in a container to acclimate, he decided he was Superman and leaped for the heavens. My hands weren't fast enough and he met the floor very suddenly. He seems a little stunned, but otherwise ok. I'm really really really hoping he isn't permanently injured or dies from that. Anyways, here's the pics.

What do you guys think on species? Ever seen one looking like this?

Do they often come in so dark? Is he likely to lighten up just like the rest over time? His whole body is a very dark green (darker than it looks in the pic), and the spots are solid black bars. There is a lighter ring around each of the spots, plus a bright yellow spot above the black spot on the tail.
 
pretty hard to tell from these pics, take some more once hes settled in :)
 
agreed to the top. Settle that bad boy in and snap somemore pictures.
