The iris is of a paler tint than that of N. ramsayi. The dorsal fins are bright emerald green, bordered with white, and the anal fin deep grey. The caudal fin is olive varied by lemon yellow, sometimes margined with orange, sometimes with brown and white. The pectoral is pale orange or salmon pink, sometimes lemon yellow, the base of the fin quite white. The pelvic is deep grey. The belly, which has been shaded in the sketch, should be white.
