Fish ID

[charden]

I got this fish a few months ago when it was small and it was marked as a Fire Hap....any idea what it really is?

The one on the right looks like a red empress, but I suck at IDs

[signde]

protomelas hap of some sort but beyond that it is too soon to tell.

might want to run through these

there is a fire blue listed there, might be your guy

Fire Hap is a red empress just different collection point. They get more blue on body with red fins.

after looking at this again i am thinking red emp too

[bnoel210]

It looks just like my red emp females

[charden]

I was thinking female also...but yesterday I took this shot and am noticing some colors coming in...Would it still be a red emp but maybe another male now?

Yeah but it is showing signs of red and maybe a yellow coloring. Also the Anal fin is showing signs of red.

Key question, how big is it?

[charden]

About 2-3you inches

[paddysdaddy]

thought so from the eye size. Prob female,grow it and see, either way it's desirable
