Flank scales in males darkly marginated, less so in females (Ref. 52307, 81260). Cheek, opercle and often anterior flanks with bluish flush; soft dorsal, anal and caudal fin membrane in males with numerous small reddish maculae that are rarely visible in females (Ref. 81260). Most of dorsal fin (Ref. 52307, 81260) and often also upper lobe of caudal fin (Ref. 81260) in females with a bluish to yellowish silvery/iridescent colouration (Ref. 52307, 81260). Dorsal fin and upper part of caudal with red margin in both sexes; often with large, irregularly distributed blotches over flanks and caudal peduncle, sometimes 2 rows of interrupted horizontal black stripes on body (Ref. 81260).
