Thank you Helene for confirming that mine look like tweediei 🙂
The import had been announced last year on Ruinemans’ website during their summer break. In the months before that time, only a large quantity P. linkei had been available.
A mix with linkei stowaways, would rather mean that you shouldn’t hesitate any longer. But I agree that it still could be different species. The fishermen might have checked several nearby locations in one and the same region, and have put everyting together at the end of the day :unsure:
Whatsoever, I don’t have enough experience to exclude one or other identification because of the black band in the caudal. I’ve compared the pictures in the species section but don’t see any difference. :huh:
So I can only tell you my observations:
-my males already had moments that they looked as bleuish as on your pictures.
-my females totally behave and look the same way as you described and photographed. The species section confirms the colouration of tweediei females.
-the dorsal of your males seems to match with the description of tweediei males: slightly pointed, but not extremely long. Compare with rubrimontis: the male always has a pointed dorsal fin, partly very long, almost like a pennant.
