Adult territorial males: body blue; ventral and ventro-lateral parts of head and body yellow; ventral parts probably darker in highly territorial males; individual body scales yellow anteriorly, blue on posterior edges, with the amount of yellow greater towards the ventral part of the body; pectoral fins yellowish transparent; pelvic fins black with white leading edge; dorsal and caudal fins greyish blue with yellow-bronze maculae and striae; dorsal fin with yellow lappets and white submarginal band; proximal part of anal fin dark, distal part yellowish with yellow ocelli (Ref. 55925). Females: silvery with brownish hue on dorsal and dorso-lateral parts of head and body; dorsal and caudal fins yellowish transparent with dark brown maculae and striae; some specimens with pale yellow dorsal fin lappets; anal fin whitish transparent with pale yellow spots; pectoral fins transparent with yellowish hue; pelvic fins transparent with whitish leading edge (Ref. 55925). Color pattern of immature and non-territorial males intermediate between female and adult male pattern, with an increasing intensity of blue on the body with increasing terrioriality (Ref. 55925). Preserved: general body color grey to brown-yellow; 3 spots in all specimens, but size of supra-pectoral and supra-anal spot may vary; suprapectoral spot on upper part of lateral line, the larger ones almost reaching the dorsal fin base; supra-anal spot situated between upper and lower part of lateral line; major part of caudal spot situated on the upper half of the caudal peduncle; all fins greyish to brownish yellow; dorsal and caudal fins bear dark maculae; very faint traces of vertical bars in juveniles only (Ref. 55925).
