I would think they're a hybrid, they look nothing like the redear in this thread. Exfactor's redear is a traditional looking cracker, with the cream colored belly, greenish/bronze body and traditional red ear flap. Now a couple of Noble's pictures clearly show big traditional looking, huge redear. But the real dark colord fish could be hybrid or maybe I'm wrong?
