Checked this species but seems to be different from the one on the photo, thanks anyway !

The coloration of the spots and stripes is the exact same, I think it may just be discolored because of the aquarium lights or something.

@Ebirah766 : Still not convinced ... sorry. Scales and some of the black markings are different from photos I found of Apogon kallopterus. Also Apogon is a very large ( 50+ species ) and very difficult genus to identify so I prefer to leave it unindentified for the moment.
