Wow, those are some gorgeous fish from Copp's aquarium. His goldflake does show some of the similarities to the one I have such as the tail being mostly yellow instead of black and the gold being not as prominent as seen in adult goldflakes. The reason why I am hesitating to call it a hybrid is because a year or two ago, the fish shows no sign of being a hybrid whatsover. Mouth is completely blue, tail is dark black. Nothing says flagfin/goldflake hybrid at that point.
You are also correct. Interesting finds here. I'll have to keep an eye on mine and document the growth via photos often.
