Martin, it is difficult to say from one picture only. It shows the fish neither in normal nor in displaying colouration, but in frightened colouration (vertical bars!). But for 60% it’s not spec. Sentang but something between rubrimontis and opallios or a different bintan-form.
Where did your friend got it from? Private breeder or commercial trade? For trade, rubrimontis and opallios are very unlikely, but a different bintan-like form from Sumatra very possibly indeed. Could you get some more photos?
