I would like the same info as KitKat as I have never done a scale count. Interestingly enough, I found the following ...

Puget Sound (T. s. pickeringii), resembles Red-spotted, except back stripe largely confined to 1 scale row instead of 2 and top of head dark; Vancouver Island, adjacent coastal sw. British Columbia and w. Washington.

I found this description here >>>
eNature: FieldGuides: Species Detail

If this proves true then my animals are pickeringii as their back stripe is very fine, definitaley/barely only one row.

BTW ... my ICU girls are doing very well ... I even got them to take 2 f/t pinks each (tossed in with their fish) this past weekend.
