It's hard to tell. The fish is angled oddly so it's hard to see if it really has
abdominal stripes.

This is a very old male. Notice the massive, but poorly toned body and slight
nuchal hump? At this age A. gephyra tend to get longer extensions on the unpaired
fins. It looks like it has a lace pattern in the upper lobe of the caudal but it's
hard to see. It's probably the same form as the one on the bottom right of the
same page (S03530-4).
