reef Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 i think that is a brazilian flameback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman Posted September 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 The Brazilian Flameback has a slightly larger potrion of orange, a slightly larger eye diameter, and blue tail and pelvic fins, subtle differences which require a trained eye to spot.

reef Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 i think the tail being yellow confirms it is a african flameback, That is the only differance i can see, the brazialian and african i have almost look the same except for the tail.

Brianemone Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 man that would annoy me buying fish thinking that they are one type and then discovering that they are something else :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 man that would annoy me buying fish thinking that they are one type and then discovering that they are something else It would annoy me if the Latan name was mis-represented. But if they called it a Blue tang, it brought it thinking it was a Blue tang and it turned out to be a Regal tang, I don't see that as anyones fault but that of the purchaser.
