Onyx is a variant of A. percula.
The term "onyx" was coined by CQuest many years ago to identify a variant of A. percula they were breeding. At the time they claimed that they had selectively bred A. percula from the Solomon Islands to achive the complete back markings between the head and tail bars.
Since then we know that was not the turth and that this variant is naturally occuring in both fish from the Solomon Islands and from PNG.
