The fist is a Aequidens rivulatus. Gold saums have a larger forehead lump. other then seems right

 

[blackghostuk]

The first is not Andinoacara rivulatus. It's Andinoacara aequinoctalis.

What?? Really?? Please get your facts straight before making a post. Gold saums (and whilte saums) used to be identified as Aequidens Rivulatus and are now identified as Andinoacara Rivulatus or Aequinoctalis. The larger forehead lump (Nuchal Hump) has nothing to do with anything when is comes to species.
