Hi there
It looks very similar but these fish are not my area of expertise - the eye looks higher on the head here, the dorsal dark patch seems very faint & the shoulder stripe seems indistinct - it may be stress, juvenille/regional patterning or a closely undescribed species or meesi but should undoubtedly be treated the same in respect of care - nice looking specimens you have there.
Anyone else got any views?
