Assuming I got the genus right, any views? Fish was exported from Vietnam to Sweden.

I agree with the others. I have one and they are a brand new species. Not a whole lot known.

Does it stay within the size parameters of other Tachysurus sp.? Very attractive fish.
Thanks,
Amanda

Fishbase lists it as 69mm SL - so I expect it's not growing massive.

Compared to the other congeners, all of the striped Tachysurus (T. argentivittatus, T. longispinalis, T. spilotus and T. virgatus) are quite small (no larger than 9 cm SL). Tachysurus argentivittatus appears to be the smallest of the lot (it seems to grow no bigger than 4-5 cm SL).
