Is this a Syn. Eupterus?

He definitely looks like one, but never seen one with a white stripe going across the body.

Yes but the stripe appears to be really bad lateral line erosion (likely from dirty water).

How long have you had him ?

looks like the right species in question, maybe it fell asleep next to a grafiti artist?

They are a tough breed so though I cant say much more from looking at this singular photo I would say if there is some type of infection/issue, and you keep the cats in clean water they are prone to recover rather well. At least it is out and swimming around. Be prepared for it to get a bit larger, maybe 8-9 inches.

I've kept Eupterus in the past, so I know how much bigger he could get. Anyhow, he is very active and eats well. I will see if the white stripe does away under my care.
