A. rivulatus no doubt about it, Yes its really quite strange how the young of the 2 species look so similar, but the orange on the fins is a dead give away.

plus if they were A. pulcher they would have a more purple colour to their general body

That is what is refered to as an A. Rivulatus (Gold Saum) not A. Pulcher.
