I would say
Identification ...... Variable, indistinct colouration. Many colour variations exist which may be separate species or sub-species.

That is a really beatiful specie. I had a rather large one when I was around 11-12 years old. I had it in a 312 liter tank. A really large showtank with a group of 10-15 would really be cool. Are all P. blochii wild cought?
