was looking at my taft today and trying to count rows of scales between pelvic insertion and lateral line and not having much luck. Anyone have good enough eyes to tell off the pictures posted? I sure don't

I can't count em. :(

Other than the 2 vs 3 scale thing, another way to tell them apart at this size is the adipose fin. VATF will have a black tipped adipose fin, TATF will have a solid black adipose fin.

This is a VATF:
