Hi,

I guess you consider the right one to be C. axelrodi, the left one is a rather typical CW021.
With C. axelrodi however, the dark lateral band ends in the lower part of the caudal fin.
The dark dorsal fin would also be very unusual for C. axelrodi but is quite frequent in young CW021 (mainly the males).
Therefore I'm sure that both specimen are CW021.

CW021 usually shows a second faint band below the first one but not always.

Cheers,
