This
variety has the following characteristics: in males, the caudal fin is
yellow without any pattern, the ventral fin blue and the dorsal fin has a
red border. The horizontal stripe seems to be composed of spots. The
dorsal fin of the female is bright yellow and has black spots in the
upper backward part of the spiny part of the dorsal. The change of
coloration in excited females is dramatically. The initially yellow face
mask changes over green to almost black, the horizontal stripe
disappears and the belly glows in yellow-pink.
