I am back on this species. Just acquired 3 of them from the famous fish street in Taipei. The aquarium store provides professional service. The fish is bagged individually and double bagged with newspaper in-between. I am please with their knowledge.
The species I got is the higher torso variety which I preferred. The shop marketed it as wild caught. One of them have dark botch on the dorsal. On the coloration or pattern, my criteria is to look for thicker black band sharper cut.
Above picture : The background is not so good. I would get a darker color in the future for fins clarity which will help to identify the sexes. The body shapes are not clear as I feel it needs to be fed for some period first to be more definitive.
Above picture : I did not do acclimatization as the bagging is good and the fishes are healthy. The longer time they stay in the bag may not be a better option. So I just scope them up for the plan view taking and immediately release them into the community tank.There is some rapid gills movement in one of them about an hour. Other than that everything looks normal after. I do some feeding and roughly 15% water change next morning just to keep them fresh.
