Looks like the aeneus sp. "Black" to me...which may or may not have another name or C#.
I've known groups of them to sell for hundreds of dollars here...no kidding.

Thanks for the ID, I will try and take a better photo of it- shouldn't be difficult as it is always out and about at the front of the tank. I paid £7.50 for it and was told it was wild caught.

Semiaquilus are enormous fish, surely they can't be put under the same name as these aeneus variations?
