Well the fish on the far right is certainly a motaguense. The headshape is a dead giveaway. The angle of the other two fish prevents me from being sure. The one in the middle looks a like motaguense also, but the large amount of vertical bands are characteristic of the fredrichstahli. If you twisted my arm though, I would say mota. I cant be sure about the other one. Do some digging and see if these fish trace back to Don Conkel. If they do, it would explain a lot.

i've seriously spent some time looking at both of these fish and would be wildly hard pressed to tell the difference between them outside of breeding dress. I've seen pictures of fish labelled as freddies with a red tint, and rt motas with a yellow or washed out hue.
Freddies
