Severum ID?

I picked this guy up a couple weeks ago, he's about 6 inches long. Was just curious on what everyone thought he was.

Perhaps notatus. Looks like its got some beautiful coloring already

It's a rotkeil.

I didn't even know this fish existed, I was sold on the idea it was a rotkeil hybrid of some sort.

Usually notatus aren't that colorful if it was.

Mine is not as nice as the one from this link, but it is colorful

It does look nice, could be either one really. Rotkeil and notatus often get confusing to differentiate. They are probably all hybridized now unless wild caught.

I just looked and surprised I couldn't find one. I'll try to get a pic today if he's in a good mood and fully pops his color
