Young fish have a pointed head, while older individuals have a small, blunt head with a pronounced lower jaw, giving them a large "chin". Young fish are reddish brown to dull orange with a number of brown, transverse bands. The fins are orange. As the fish gets older, it becomes less attractive and loses its handsome stripes. Adults have a dark brown back and brown flanks covered with iridescent silver scales. The fins are also brown. [[Albino]] and other colour variations are common. | |
