The lfs told me its a desjardini, but it doesnt look to have the body structure of a sailfin. It looks like hes starting to get some of his colors.. My camera isnt the best, but there okay pics.

It is not a desjardin. I don't know what it is though. Sorry. A guess would be a juvenile dussemieri, but that is just a guess. Get it fed, it looks skinny.

I take that back, I don't think that it is a dussemieri at all. Sorry.

He actually eats better and act better than any fish ive introduced to date. It ate and didnt hide at all the first day.

He is only 3 inches.

Thanks for the guess,
hope somone else will chime in.

The lavender is pretty close.

I would go with the ring tail. I have been looking at them for a while now, and all the little ones are just like yours.
