There is a very good chance you have Gold Saums, as true GTs are quite rare in the hobby. How big are they? The best way to sex them is to post some pics and ask the members
In the mean time, try doing some searches on this site, and I think you will probably get a pretty good idea on the differences between male and female.

Well...it's kind of a trick question. A Gold Saum is what is commonly called a GT now a days. The REALLY GT isn't really seen in the market now a days. As for sex...I always went by how long the fins are.
Mine is voracious, even eats from my hand from time to time when he can get the nerve. Grows fairly slow so far. Best fish to watch though.
Ok, well I wont need the pics because I'm getting it from petsmart. I dont care if its a saum or the true green terror they look cool any way. What are the scientific names for the saum and true? I'm going to get one as soon as my tank is cycled.

Petsmart = gold saum
Both true and saums are part of the Aquendis riveltus (spelling is probably way off) species complex (unless this has changed recently). Saums are awesome have fun.
wether its a gold saum or a true gt you got a cool very similar fish most likley a gold saum though
