Undescribed species......also apparently loving the new algae diet based on its awesome colour. i've owned this fish for maybe 2 years and it's never looked this good before.

Nice to hear and see your fish happy after take algae as food!!
Wow!! 2 years!!
How is its grow rate, Martin.
Mine looks grow very slowly!!
Here the comparison between yours and mine.





Your fish seems have more blotches pattern meanwhile mine have stripes pattern, but my guess they possibly the same species. And I suspect the stripe pattern will change to blotches as its growth?
I have 8 specimens of this species, some of them have rather different coloration (light brown), wider head, and wider light brown stripes, probably this characters showed sexual dimorphism in this species?
So far, I observed only fishes with dark brown color have fightings, meanwhile fishes with lighter color, wider head, and wider light brown stripes never observed in fighting and looks less agressive.
