asian redtails fingerlings are first born with white tails, they will slowly turn red when they are 15cm, I think Maydelli also look grew like this


A friend of my also import Asian rtc fingerlings I saw their tails are kinda white instead of red, so i go to check wikipedia
 
Yes wickiodes grow with white, clear or even grey tails but sometimes their tails still are not a bright red, more a maroon even up to 8-10”. Which was why I asked.
To date I have not seen the real differences between maydelli and wickiodes and wondered if maydelli started younger with the red tails. Hard tell the size of the fish in the photo though but their fins seem very vibrant colour. Not exactly the same as all the less than 8” wickiodes I have raised but this could be diet also.
 
My fb friend create this group, he catch invasive giant asian red tails in the Selangor river
