Wrong ID imo

I'm sure
must have juvies too, but the recent image update of a Trachycorystes juvenile is imho by no means a Trachycorystes but some Tatia species.
It concerns the latest picture addition, number 13.

Hi Marc,
I am not sure one way or the other.
This individual was, according to JJ, about 4-5cm long. It looks like it doesn't have a forked tail and it is quite thick in the lower half of the body. Which
species do you think it might be?
Cheers,
Jools

I couldn't possibly tell you which exact species, but it surely looks like an "intermedia-like" (meaning: from the intermedia-complex) species.
Cylindrical body, Tatia-like proportions and very likely a forked tail with an elongated upper lobe, which means it should be a male specimen.
I would suspect a juvenile Trachycorystes has a broad head and gets more slender towards the tail, which I(!) don't see in the pictured fish.
