[Modest_Man]

That's the problem with common names...you can call them whatever you want. They're nicely colored A. sp "gold saum".

Marketing gimmick.

I read the thread about the "red saums" before and honestly-I've looked all the pictures over up and down and left and right and I do not see a difference between them and the 'gold saums'. I'm not arguing, but maybe you can explain further-I'd sure like to hear it. I've posted this picture before, but this is my $5 PetsMart 'gold saum'. Everyone says the reds are supposed to be more colorful, but I'm not seeing it. Mine has a reddish tail and he's still a juvie. Yet he's not a 'red', he's a gold. Not sure what I'm missing but I'm open to hearing more.
Liz, to me yours looks like a gold saum.

well ive asked Jeff Rapps what his opinion is on the matter and told him all of your opinions.

Don't get A. Rivulatus confused with A. sp Rivulatus. We are only talking about A. sp Rivulatus.

Anyway, I see a difference. Very slight but the fish has an overall darker/reddish (if you will) background. I just may have to pick up some and take a few good shots to point out these subtle differences .

that would be good of you roliva
