Thats the problem with some stores, crosss breeding etc...., its awfully yellow for a Pemba orange flame at that size, looks like 1.5-2"? May be cross breed or Kiriza mixed in with them, are the others orange?

If they are Bemba, their bands will eventually turn orange. I have some Bemba juvies that look like your pictures. They are about 1.5". Where did you buy your fish?

I have some fish that look to be the same as yours. I bought them under the name of double yellow banded. they also had double banded red. they grow into a very pretty fish as the yellow fills out and become very bright. There are 8-10 shop here in mid Ill. caring them all the time. they have been for about 9 months now.
