The pic I see is clear enough:
Chromaphyosemion bitaeniatum probably from the Lagos area... 
Doesn't matter what the location is as it is still a nice fish.

Suggested name: Chromaphyosemion bitaeniatum "Tailand CI-01"

We got the same fish last year from Nigeria. All of them now are 
belly up. They didn't take the trip too well...

Distinguishing features: full orange tail. two lateral brown stripes 
which are clear. On most other Chrom. species the stripes are 
blurred by iridescence or broken up.

Just my $0.0025 (2c South African)
