Dunno where they are actually from.

signipinnis or euryzonus

Thanks, but this is no flagfin I think it is one of the sailfins but not sure which one.

Well, it's probably NOT:

stonei
signipinnis
euryzonus
welaka
hubbsi
harperi

so that leaves

hypselopterus
grandipinnis
metallicus
merlini-- kinda iffy; maybe if fins were more orange. Body is deep enough, though. Maybe. Does have pronounced tubercules like merlini.

I doubt it's a grandipinnis simply because their range is so small we almost never see those, and the fins aren't that grand

I couldn't tell metallicus & hypselopterus apart without a side by side comparison, so without knowing where they were caught I could only guess. I usually guess wrong.

My best guess? merlini.
hypselopterus is my second guess.
