Please sex this Victorian Hap

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
new pics..:Dthese are all the same fish.. and tonight first time i did notice some color
 
Then this is the other one i bought with him hoping it would be female..:D And the last pic is my original male that i love.
 
Now to me the second set of pics look as though it could maybe be a sub dominent male...It looks different to me then the one in the first pic. I wonder if it could be mixed? I had one that was sold to me as a Kyoga Flameback that looks very similar to the one in your first pics...I never have gotten a positive I.D

just to confuse things. i have a female that just had fry and she has egg spots . so with vics i dont think you can go by that .
could you show her picture..love to see her.
 
If you chase the one without bars on it with a net, and then snap some pics, it may be more easily identified. Stress bars can sometimes help, when you see the patterning.

The last fish looks like a 44 to me. The problem is, the 44's will breed with almost anything female...so it's hard to get a true one.
