These two fish were traded to me as a male and female pair of Flamebacks. I've looked around a few online species profiles without any luck in finding them. Are they perhaps known by another name?

They look Victorian, but arent flamebacks. Flamebacks have bright red backs, hence the name. These guys look to only have red in the tail. Do a search on lake victorian Haplochromis species or sp. and see what you can find.
