Oh man, no clue lpl
 
It is real! Trust me!

Nope and nope! Very close though , heres a hint.

Each scale has a darker edge which gives the fish a more "checkered" pattern

Edit: that picture may be a bad one ill find another see if that helps ( should have red on its fins the pictured one may be stressed)

Edit edit: nevermind the red fins are on a different variant sorry
