IMO it's cyaneorhabdos. The blue stripes are very clean. The check for difference is if the fish was ever yellow. In cyaneorhabdos, you have the males, females and juvies looking like this one. In johanni the females and juvies are yellow. The trade name for cyaneorhabdos is "electic blue johanni".
