Looks like my vittatus which is an inch or so bigger
where did you get it ?
Got him from a local guy, but unlike the previous ones I had this one does not have the red colour in its tail. Just the lower lobe is slightly reddish and now it's also disappearing.
2 pics of Just when I got him.

It's a very nice fatf. Good catch!
Thanks buddy, I was told it's a vittatus but I knew the colour is really different from the previous two I had, Any chance this to be a BATF. 🙈 first time having a FATF was hoping for something else 😢

The seller told it's a VATF and I also doubted, the previous two had way more colours in the tail, never thought to be a FATF 😒
Not sure if he’s still around but ask Chicxulub…he should be able to tell you for sure what it is
