I got this little fella maybe around a month or so ago with some other harlequin rasboras, and I’ve always noticed this one looks a bit off. I haven’t seen any issues with him and the other fish! He just doesn’t look the same as the others.

Markings suggest, yes.
100%
Marking appears to be a lambchop (Espei).

Looks more like an T. espei
Somebpeople call them bronze rasbora but personally they will always be lamb chops.
Kinda looks like a lambchop rasbora I’ve have a few remaining from a old school and now they just hang with the cherry barbs
100% an espei.

Lambchop Rasbora, closely related to Harlequins and will shoal with them. I have 3 lambchops and 3 harlequins in my tank and they shoal together. If he’s happy and staying with the harlequins then keep him.
Could be Trigonostigma hengeli
lol reminds me of my loaches. 3 yo yo loaches and one barred loach that got thrown in with them. They still all look pretty similar but the the yo-yos swim around like dolphins while the the barred loach hangs in his driftwood but they all group up occasionally to hang. They probably just think he’s an introvert lol.
