The rest of the body is a tan, whereas the six other bars that cover the chunkier body are faded. This color's hue can be a little off, but it's usually the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey lack a lateral spot on the side of their body and the blotch on their caudal and dorsal fins, unlike their close relatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults can be easily distinguished as male or female.
