The ID is hard to make out from the photo, although I believe Yann is right.

The size of the fish would potentially make it more or less likely - my guess is that this fish is around 2.5-3cm (1-1 1/4") - small fish are more markedly spotted, and the spots gets (relatively to the size of the fish) smaller and less bright as the fish grows larger.
