has black seams along it fins. Yours hasn't.
has irregular smaller dots and it's bodyshape is more flat then H. Contradens.
So I'm going for for your fish.

But please, don't show fish out of the water again for identification. It's not very nice for the fish but it is also very hard to determine anything about the fish because it doesn't display it's natural colors and body odonthodes.
Every great achievement begins with a dream ;-)

I know that you´re not supposed to take out of the water-pics, and I usually don´t do that. I only took these pics because they were moved to a new tank. But thanks for the ID.
