Cheek and opercle brownish grey with blueish flush (Ref. 81260), pale yellow in some individuals (Ref. 52307). Faint lachrymal stripe sometimes visible; opercular spot usually merged with opercular band; dark mid-lateral band often present and terminating at the base of caudal peduncle in a distinct spot; mid-lateral band sometimes replaced, or interrupted, by 5-7 variable-sized black spots (Ref. 81260). Chest and belly in ripe females rosy or violet (Ref. 81260) with a white genital papilla (Ref. 52307). Leading edge of pelvic white, rest of fin pale blue; in mature females tips of anterior pelvic fins jet black forming a distinctive black spot at tip; in males soft dorsal and upper part of caudal with thin black margin and white submargin; dorsal fin of females with a thin black or dark red margin, rest of dorsal with intensive silvery or rosy iridescent flush; soft dorsal, caudal and posterior parts of anal in males gray usually with bands of pale blue maculae, which are normally entirely lacking in females, when occasionally present female maculae are few in number and pale; anal fin violet (males) or yellow (females); body scales with dark margins more strongly marked in males than females (Ref. 81260).
