    Well...for me, he is new.

    I checked the tank this morning before leaving for work as I usually do and found him swimming around. His tail is a full fork. Not sure how else I would describe it. All the others I have seen in the tank have either the bottom part of the tail colored and/or just a smidge on the top part. He is the only one to have strips completely down the top and bottom part of the tail fin. Very, very colorful guy. Hopefully I will be able to get home at a decent time and get a pic of him.

    Black Bars generally do have orange on the top and bottom of their tail fin.

    Most black bars look like your avatar pic.
