yea can't rely on color differences as much for smaller fish. but there's some things one can look for. ID'ing between gatf and others is easier.

gatfs; can see slight lateral lines but next to a vatf, the difference is apparent.

shape of mouth. gatfs are have blunter snouts, like a dog, while vatfs/batfs are more streamlined like a beak.

Tail of the younger gatfs are round where as vatf/batf to a point.

i was thinking it too.
another thing to consider is the size of the tail.
GATF have much larger tails than other species.
