    Hi, I was scouting for more into and came across some article that mentioned that the sp. orangeflossen and fulvipinnis is the same fish.

    I have 3 pieces, the male is quite obvious with its long dorsal. The other 2 piece have pointed dorsal as well, but is significantly shorter that the alpha fish.
    Anyone have experienced with sexing these fishes?

    Thanks
    Nicholas
