Like I said I'm new to these.. What specifically makes it stand out as a TAT compared to a armatus?

Buddy your fish is a tat. Ive kept all three species of Hydros and like alot of people here that have kept them are saying, it is a tat.

The jaw is upturned too sharply, the body is too small, tail too small, adipose matches the caudal, so on and so on.

Here is my baby armatus at 4". See how much beefier he is and how the adipose and caudal fin contrast with each other?
