I was told this fish is a Protomelas sp. "Steveni Imperial" Imperial Tigress, but I can not find much info. He is about 5 inches. He looks kinda like my Tangerine Tiger but no red in the fins. Is this a rare Hap?
I would say it is rare to my eyes - owning a few Protomelas myself most of them do display "tiger" stripping as juvies and sub-adults an exception being the Emperess which also includes a staggered horizontal line. Very nice pick -up looking forward to seeing yours as an adult.
