Juveniles (< 35 mm SL): similar, except for more prominent brown spotting on ventral surfaces and larger cream markings that sometimes assume more vermiform shapes, partially coalescing to form reticulate pattern; pectoral fins hyaline, with scattered brown spots; dorsal, anal and caudal fins with brown spots arranged in transverse bands (Ref. 81251).
