I will have do check with Roger to see if he has gotten a more

The one that is showing abdominal stripes is about 3-4 cm, has 3
abdominal strokes, the black patch is more banded than oval. The
Dorsal has small sawtooth edges and now the caudal fin is looking
like a bilobated with small extended filaments on top and bottom. On
the face there are lots of blue speckles, preorbital and suborbital
stripes and a black spot on the bottom lip/jaw. The lip/jaw spot
looks just like my A. broadband. There are also two very small fish
that are showing remarkable resemblance to small female A.
broadbands.I guess this rules out pertensis. The one large female
that I spoke of earlier is a twin to the Mayland & Bork picture found
on page 124, in body shape and head shape, but definitely not in body
color.
