Well, here he go, I think this one is a male but I'm not sure if he is a P. Zonatus or P. Coatzacoalcos, what do you think?

Thanks

No way is that a bifa...way too much blue.

mmmm I don't think so, v. bifasciata have another colors, yellow, red. This fish have blue, green, orange, white and a bit of red

I have about 6 of these myself, that is a P.Zonatus

Not sure about Zonatus....looked nothing like mine.
But it seems to make sense.

Maybe Hartwegi on second thought?

I have been investigating and I believe that he is a Vieja sp. Coatzacoalcos. A very rare fish undescribed until now
