:Both males and females have two large black spots, one at the caudal peduncle, the other behind the head at the flank of the fish. Males have a red band running behind the head and extend until the edge of the middle portion of the tail fin. The dorsal and ventral fins are speckle with black dots and are edged in black. The caudal and pectoral fins are clear. Females do not have red markings and are brown/greyish green in colour. The females also lack most of the black dots shown on the dorsal and ventral fins. | :Both males and females have two large black spots, one at the caudal peduncle, the other behind the head at the flank of the fish.
