hey all,
long story short, i ordered a flameback from livefishdirect.com .. few months later, i saw 'all red haps' at my lfs.. the day i bought the 'hap' i told them they had similar coloring to flamebacks or other victorians but they assured me, up and down, that they were haps.
yesterday i go in for some new fish and the 'haps' are in a different tank and labeled 'flamebacks' !!!!! soooooo now i have no clue if i have 2 male flamebacks or not, and the bigger one (the 'hap-back' as i now call him) is chasing the smaller one that i got from LFD.COM once in a while.. neither looks bad, just tiny nips
anyway, here are pics of both.. first pic is my first flameback from LFD.COM .. second two pics are the 'hap-back' .. lemme know if the 'hap-back' could possibly be a ruby green or other vic.. def has green in him when he colors up ... i realllllllly hope its not a flame but i have a feeling it is![Facepalm :facepalm: :facepalm:](https://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/images/smilies/facepalm.gif)
