Hello! I received this fish as a gift for my birthday, but I'm not sure about species: perhaps Lycoptera genus?

Also, I'm afraid it is partly painted.

I think that is a Lycoptera. Here is the one in my collection for comparison.

I agree, ... Lycoptera davidi.

It's difficult to say whether this has been painted or not.

I think it may have been, but cannot be certain.
