You’re welcome and yeah check out the elongated pectorals on the male!

[Thomas]

Thanks Matt, it looks like the male has a bit red in caudale and the female beneath don’t. I wonder is it really a coloured fin or something else?

My old anguillaris male has a bit similar elongated pectorals but of course I haven’t such a good photo of it. But you can see the thickened ray
