For many years,
was the fish listed by suppliers and stores alike as the fish being sold. Only recently, it has come to light that actually the fish we all knew as P. costatus is in fact
, and P. costatus is not a fish that is collected or available much in the hobby. So unlikely (but not impossible) you have P. costatus, and as already suggested, add a photo and the ID can be confirmed.
