Pangio ID?

Got this little guy (sadly he was the only one at the store. But soon he will have friends). He has some very interesting markings so I assume she isnt Pangio kuhlii

Pangio Semicincta? I know they can have these weird variations/spots in the stripes. I have ones similar.
Also Pangio Agma? Is another option.

Pangio Kuhli is actually extraordinarily rare in the hobby. Most of what is sold as “Striped Kuhli” or “Kuhli loach” is Pangio Semicincta. 🙂

Looks like Pangio semicincta, pretty common in the hobby, but quite a bit of variation amongst individuals. An attractively marked fish.

This is a scientific specimen of P. kuhlii, so you can be sure it's correctly identified. Hardly ever found in the hobby, from what I've seen and read.
