   The male's body is blue with green and purple tints. The scales are surrounded by a pink-orange line. The chest is blue-green, and the abdomen is pale yellow-green. The lips and eyes, as well as the cheeks, are outlined in blue. The dorsal and anal fins are a sequence of lines: blue, pink, purple and green. The bump on the snout appears only in the terminal phase.
