Hi Stepchild,
Is this the fish you have.
This is a male, females do not have the extended fins.

This is a female C. paleatus, there is another species with long fins, which may just be a natural variant. I don't have pictures available yet.

trust me if you have long fin paleatus you will know it.. mine have dorsal fins that are the length of their bodies and they are juv. the dorsal and bodies are about 1/2"-3/4" it is very obvious that it is a high or long fin variety.

I was looking this morning and I see a green sheen on the gills so I'm thinking I have 4 more Paleatus to add to the other ones I have
