Although it is hard to differentitate from the very similar species L. fasciatus in this fish I count only 9 black stripes including the forehgead and tail whereas the L. fasciatus has 10.
Both species are very similar and native to the same part of the worls. In this link there are interesting facts for L. fasciatus which are probably also applicable to L. affinis:

The black-banded leporinus (scientific name Leporinus fasciatus), also known as banded leporinus, is a characin species of the Anostomidae family. The black-banded leporinus has yellow and black bands on the body, almost similar to tiger stripes.
