that could be the one! when I got them(6 months ago) they were really bright yellow, but the bigger they get, the darker they become, so I guess they are going te be all dark, too bad, it was a nice fish, all yellowish ;)

I forget to mention that the dorsal and pectoral spines have a white tip, maybe this helps? the rebeli in the cat-elog does show the white tip in the pectoral spines, but not in the dorsal spine.

Hmmm...

I have several fish that look very similar to yours including that white tip on both pectorals. Is that white tip an identifying trait or could a variety of species have that?

I have no idea if it is an identifying trait, but it's always usefull to mention it, right ;) maybe it is unique to 1 species, that would be nice ;)
