What size is he? Looks too small, too early for an ID. After 2' is better. As is, I'd think either a fasciatum or tigrinum.

He's 18"

I thought smaller too. 18" is closer but their coloration and pattern will keep heavily evolving. A clear pic of the whole fish from semi-above could help to see if it has the "Y" shaped stripes , usually more characteristic of fasciatum.

Sorry about pick orientation, here's one of him and one of the entire tank

They are so-o-o variable in appearance. In the states, we get mostly fasciatum, less often tigrinum, much, much less often reticulatum, and AFAIK almost never any others (perhaps barring special and specific requests).

Very cautiously I'm tilting towards fasciatum. I wish better experts chimed in like Necrocanis, Wednesday13, Wayne The Pain, Oddball, and Co.

Pleasant-looking tank. For many years, 120 gal tall 5'x1.5' has been my biggest tank.
