Quick Clown ID

[Slakker]

I snapped a picture of this guy at the LFS today (my phone's camera isn't well suited for taking pictures of active little fish, apparently...sorry for the quality, it's kinda tough to see any details.)

They had him labelled as Allardi, so I was just wondering if you could tell from this photo if that was a legitimate label or if he's been wrongly IDed. Either way he's a cute little bugger.

Thanks in advance!

That is what I would say as well. An allardi that small would usually have a lot of black in the middle of its tail. The pectoral fins are usually black with yellow edge at that age. The head and eyes don't look like allardi either.

I was leaning towards Clarkii as well, but never having seen an allardi I figured I'd check it out. Thanks, guys.
