Thanks! I got him from my LFS in Brisbane from the assorted peacocks tank. He's one of my favourites personality wise too

You could be lucky, and it turn out to be a true species. The line down the side is a clue that it is likely to be a Protomelas, or have that genus in it. As suggested before could be a red empress, but P. spilonotus also has bars down the side.
