mmm… I think it is a juvenile rhomboocellatus. juvenile johorensis have 6 thin bars like hexazona, then when they grow up to 3-4cm these bars breakup and morph into stripes.

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

Choy has spoken on the ID. If he says it's a juvenile rhomboocellatus, chances are that it is.
Er... next time, choose a better fish. This one is emanciated already. Probably not healthy. Fins are torn too.
You may need to check your lighting set up. Seems to be too far back.
Cheers,

I got him confused with Nick Chong. They both contributed pix. I only can remember fish, cannot remember people

well you know we don't give labels to a specific specimen, only to a population, unless of course the said specimen "Edwin" has been preserved and deposited with a institutional collection.
btw, head over to killies.com they are having a discussion on close-up photography![]()
