hello all!
I got a pair of juliis a couple months ago and they told me it was Ornatus, but i'm not sure. Can someone tell me what they are?
P.S. I know I need to algae scrape!

Looks like J. regani to me, ornatus have different face patterns and their top stripes are usually more blotched.

I keep looking at the pic but it's so hard to tell, I'm leaning towards regani as well. I went thru some of my books, most describe ornatus as having a dark spot at the caudal base which I don't see in the picture. I think ornatus have 3 stripes while regani have 4-5.

Here's one of my young regani 'Kipili':

thanks for your replies! I actually got the fish free when a person dropped them off at the pet store where I used to work.
