I think Ceylon as well. I can understand the confusion though, looks very much like an '8' on it's back.

looks like a ceylon to me, it doesnt have the eyespot of a F8.

No doubt it's a Ceylon. See the lack of eyespots & spots on it's belly?

Yup! I meant that I understand the confusion by the lfs, as it does have an 8 shape.

Side note: The figures/pattern on the back of the F-8 has nothing to do with IDing the F-8 - it is the eyespots that matter. Ditto for the young Ceylon, the patterns on individual fish are just that, individual. The colors and lack of eyespots determine ID.

Yes, but the pattern on the back certainly adds to the confusion of a less-than-knowledgeable lfs.
