I strongly recommend the original description of A. meinkeni by
Kullander, 1980: there is a black & white picture of a preserved
specimen, but you can count about 6-7 dark bars on caudal fin. It must
be noted that the clear interspaces are broader (when closer to caudal
fin end) than the dark bars or about same size (when closer to caudal
peduncle). Worthy to check the picture.
Cheers, Marco.
