Description of color is based on formalin fixed specimens. Male: Body coloration dark brown, dorsal surface of head and upper flank dark brown; belly and ventral part of head whitish-cream; chin and snout with dense black pigments, darker than rest of ventral head; one row of dense dark grey pigments below eyes, especially in anterio-ventral region of eyes. Dorsal fin with white margin and dark and light brown irregular pigments on membranes and rays, rays more pigmented than membranes, the three anteriormost dorsal fin rays darker than the remaining dorsal fin rays. Anal fin dark brown proximal, with white margin; white crescent-like marks in some specimens; 2–4 anteriormost anal fin rays darker than remaining anal fin rays in some males. Caudal fin brown at base, with white margin; brown crescent-like marks in some males (independent of the males’ size). Few dark brown pigments at base of pectoral fin, some individuals with dark brown pigments in proximal portions of pectoral fin; pelvic fin with dark brown pigments, darker than pigments on pectoral and lighter than pigments on anal and dorsal fins, with white margin in some individuals. 9–18 narrow white vertical flank bars on brown background from behind head to tail.

Flank with irregular thin brown vertical patches, which may be interrupted in vertical extent and weakly expressed anteriorly; some specimens with dark yellow region in middle of flank, from posterior part of operculum to near caudal peduncle base. Dorsal, anal and caudal fins hyaline; caudal fin base with 2–8 small dark brown pigments and a single oval to lozenge-shaped dark brown spot at middle of caudal fin base. Fins with little pigmentation being more visible in dorsal, anal and caudal than in pectoral fins; proximal half of dorsal fin with dark brown pigments.</paragraph>
