Don't see the difference. Maybe only you can see it since they were infront of you but pics wise, they are the same species. Who did you sell them to so we can get better pics? I'm very interested to see better pics of details between the the 2 species.
PM me the buyers

As far as I know, VATF is also collected in Nigeria n is a red tail vittatus like the guy that was selling 8-10 10" red tail VATF in San Jose (I'll look for pics)

Forgot to mention that the vatf was in charlies Fatf batch, as far as i know there was only 2 vatf in that batch collected from nigeria & the seller asks to be annonynmous but as for the buyer for my fatf im sure he can confirm for you.
 
bump for more opinions on identity. Sorry Rukus and West1 I just want more opinions that's all. I know both of you know more regarding ATFs than me. This is my first one :D
