I don't know if those are albino ruby greens, but I can tell you those are some nice looking fish. The color doesn't seem right to me though, but it could possibly be an albino ruby green. It is very hard to identify albino vics, since there are a few albino vic species out there which are all so similar. Just try to figure out where these fish came from and what these fish were listed as from the source. After all, victorians are very complex fishes and getting an exact ID is difficult, especially for those whom are listed or sold incorrectly, etc.
Ill ask today but im with you on the looks of them.I may have paid a bit much but im satisfied and i dont know anyone personally that owns them.I have quite a few albino haps,peacocks and others,im an albino fan,but nothing im as fond of as this one.
Im not dogging my favorite lfs even if it was mislabeled,not saying it is but?,im just glad i have them and hope to get some quality fry.The male has killed almost all of the other fish in the holding tank so that kind of sucks though.

I couldnt wait and put it in my main tank today and side by side i can tell the difference in the head shape of the two.I dont think there the same but colored differently.Hes more relaxed in the big tank,ill take some more pics and post them when i can.

I don't know about you, but the coloration of the fish doesn't look to be of an albino ruby green. See if you can notice the difference. The female also looks different to me as well and to me, the ruby green has a different shape. This is how an albino ruby green should look like (Check the link).

I have some better pics now.I beleive that videos fish and mine may very well be the same.See if these look better or different to you.I also added in another pic of the body shape i compared it to.Im with you on the female looking different too.Maybe because its a young female?Lol i dont know either way but i do appreciate your imput.
