Is is a Doitsu Hariwake?

[mojo]

it's a large scale yellow ogon, the large scale in couple years down the road, it change to a darker color and lighter, make it look like a special rug over the body.

Is it not "scaleless" below the lateral line? I was thinking doitsu as well....Russ, what gives the Hariwake trait and not doitsu ogon? Is it the coloration or the white on the fins? (Still trying to learn....)

I was leaning doitsu hariwake as well due to the white fin outlines and the white patches down the dorsal line... but time will tell.
