GT & Gold/White Saum pic thread

Right now he's growing out in a 55g with an oscar, a firemouth, Polypterus senegalis, and another Gold Saum.
Next year he'll get a tank upgrade.
Staple food is Hikari Cichlid Gold. I offer a variety of other dried and frozen foods. The only live food my fishes get are insects and worms. The gold saum seems to prefer the pellets over live food!
I am building a 180gal plywood tank it's all framed up and waiting on epoxy paint. I used to have 5 tanks in one room bout 3yrs ago had to shut them down cuz i moved, raised a mating pair of GT's to 6" and mated a pair of Firemouths. i am planning on keeping several large semi-agressive cichlids in it tell me what you think.

Now i had one gt that i raised for like 2yrs thinking it was a male, it was the largest and most dominate of the bunch so i picked her out and it took me 3tries to grow a male to the size were she wouldn't kill him. finally they mated. so my Q is all the one i've really ever seen were Gold Saums i take it.....i understand the White Saum as well though i've never seen one in real life....once i saw a GT really small one and his fins were very red!! i wanted him so bad but didn't get him. are the gold saums the false GT?? or is any GT that is tank raised/farmed false? i prefer the orange/red in the dorsal fin/tail personally. when i am buying fish i go for brightness in color and livelyness. so wish is the false GT and which is the true because i know everyone calls them Aq. Rivatlus even blue acaras. thanks
