looks like striped rapheal but has a dark belly rather than creamy white. Out of the smaller striped doradids, similar to Platydoras Costatus is it likely Acanthodoras spinosissimus? I'll look again to see if it's belly is mottled, prob take a picture...

Platydoras costatus comes in 2 varieties: white belly and black belly.

male and female......
