When we bought him (about 1 inch long) they told us he was a flametail peacock...but he doesn't look like that to me now that he's got more color.

Any ideas?

He's the most territorial of the bunch, but he's not a bully per say. He's got much more bark than he does bite. At the moment he's around 3.5 or 4 inches.

these fish vary in colour so much its hard to tell sometimes might be a pudamilla nyererei "makobe"
