Hi peeps,

I got this fish online thinking it was a salvani. i went to my LFS and their slavani are way different. I got this fish when it was a few cm so i though it would change but it looks different now. I showed the pictures to the LFS and one said Red terror? and one said synspilum?!?! Thanks

Doesn't look like a synspilum to me because the bar runs the length of the body. Could be a fenestratus (my first choice), a bifa (less likely because there is no hint of an upper dark patch). Beautiful fish regardless. Watch him for aggression against the EBJD.
 
It looks like it has mostly 'fenestratus' in it but the body is much more spangled than the 'fenestratus' I'm familiar with. Because of that, possibly a hybrid.
