Can you tell me what species is this 12cm fish?

sorry i don't know

You're going to need to grow it up a bit more before we can give a positive ID. Paratheraps all look similar when small.

 

[Camphilophus]

Pretty confident that's 100% synspilum. They all look the same but thats a synspilum LOL. That's what mine looked like too.

 

[Modest_Man]

I can say it's 100% not synspilum. They don't have the full lateral bar. Could be just about any Paratheraps besides synspilum.

You're right, definently not a synspilum, laterial stripe is too low and thick, with the face spotting could be zonatum, but body shape looks more guttulatus. Ken

yeah definitely not synspilum. could be bifasc, fenestratus, or either of what Ken said.

Oh, I'd also bet money that it's not melanarus either lol

I have a pure Guttu and its close but not it.

I would agree with this being maybe a Bifas or Fenes. Google both and see which of what looks closely the same.
