Background colour of each scale on flanks faint dark olivaceous. Each scale with darker margin on free posterior end. A black spot immediately anterior to upper angle of gill opening. Five or six narrow dark black stripes on caudal peduncle region. Eye pupil black with light grey ring. Interradial membrane of anal and caudal fin orange.
