Is the dorsal fin always clear? Or is it usually black with 3 little spots at the bottom caudal side? Looks like a c. leucomelas to me...but there are so many species to pick from.
Cant....stop....buying....fish!

Hi Alkyne,
don't think it's a acrensis, my fella looks like more dots than squiggly lines. He's banded across the eye, marked tail, spotted body, dorsal fin spotted at the last few rays .... erm .....
Will try and resolve the pictures problem soon.

C. acrensis has a large blotch in the dorsal fin

Ah, yes. After seeing all the pics (I only could see one for some reason) it looks almost like a short-nosed version of C117.
