aureus or ellioti?

[james99]

I've recently picked up 6 or 7 fish that were labelled thorichthys ellioti. After posting a pic, it was mentioned they look more like thorichthys aureus. I'd like a few more opinions since I'd like these to breed if they are pure. Below are pics of what I think is a male and 2 females. They normally have a horizontal line down their side when the lights first come on.

You maybe right. They could be aureus gold, but they look small. How big are they?

 

[james99]

They're around 2", going by the spot on their dorsal fin, I have 2m/4f.

Any ideas? Too small to tell? They aren't showing any aggression yet.
