Vieja ID--I know, I know...

[jmerchant]

First off, I am sorry to even post this, there are a million of them, and I know I could just wait for a few more months and a lot will be answered. They were sold as synspilum, but as they have grown and started to color up I am starting to think they are something else. The colors seem off, and they do not look like younger synspilum I have seen. They have very heavy red and blue speckling, with a lot of red on the fins. Take a look and tell me what you think. Once again I am sorry to post this same old ID please post.
Thanks,
Mark

The middle fish in the second picture tells the story best, sorry for the bad pictures.

One way to tell Bifas is that they have a dark area above the lateral line. as in the photo below

although that sometimes doesn't show up until mature

Bifa

The name "bifasciatum" literally means two lined. Bi - two fasc - band. I really don't see that in these fish, though they are still small.
