Hi Omaha,

due to the relatively long filaments of the pelvic fins and the cleanly shaped iridescent bands in the unpaired fins, I would definitely not tend to harveyi, but perhaps to P. bintan or even more to some undescribed form from Sumatra, e.g. “Sentang”.

My harveyis have much shorter filaments and overall shorter fins. Besides, the iridescent band in the unpaired fins is not that precisely drawn, but looks a bit “shattered”. You can compare the photos in the “species” section.

Apart from that, beautiful fish! Good luck with the fry.
