Description: The lower edge of the eye is well above a line from the tip of the snout to the middle of the caudal fin fork. The eye is relatively large, its diameter slightly greater than the interorbital space. Overall color is silvery-white, grayish on upper back. There are about 5-7 narrow irregular bars, which may be very faint, on the sides. A prominent blue-edged, yellow band from the front of the eye to above the upper lip encompassing the nostrils. The cheek is yellowish with 3 or 4 oblique bands sloping upwards from above the upper jaw towards the rear part of the eye. Fins are mainly clear or whitish. A black spot is at the base of upper pectoral rays; a narrow brown bar across the base of the entire fin (Ref. 2295). Body depth 2.3-2.4 in SL. Caudal fin tips pointed (Ref. 90102). |
