As soon as they've settled I'll take pics and post them.

Ok, some bad pics.

They're 2" at most.

You won't be certain until they're adult I would have thought.

Aureus and Ellioti are very similar and closely related.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks minnnt.

aureus will display a more yellow colouration compared to the elliotis pink/red and blue colours.

they look a bit skinny be sure to feed them plenty......
