Picked up a new Tat!? ID please....not sure!

[Chefken]

Just picked up this little guy....nearly 6". Fellow MFK'er is 99.8% sure it a Tat. I am a little less sure....no red tail, very silver in color....do they darken as they age? The last shot is my Tat already pegged by this forum. The pic is a month old and he is nearly 1/3 larger already and menacing the new guy a little. Is this a Tat???????

Thanks!!!!




Sorry i managed to mess up the pics.....The smaller silver one is the new guy.....

Trying to edit a post is not easy!! Obviously having issues with my pics....bear with me please.....My tank is very tough to photo during the day because of reflections around the room from windows....snow glare is not helping! These are the best i can do right now.

Starting to color up a little....previous owner said stress washed it out a bit. I will get better pics when the sun goes down!!

Picture number three looks like a very skinny tat but the other pictures look normal as far as body shape.

That is what is supposed to be....so skinny it hardly looks like my other.....It is breathing easy now. No one is bothering it. Lights out will be a test. I thought this fish would be much more substantial......the other Tat pictured is only 1.5" longer but 3-4x larger in mass. I was afraid it was a scomb.....the eyes seem like the giveaway!

Its hard to call it. Tail shape and gill plate say Tat buy the rest yells Scomb to me Lol... especially the way he sits at a 45 like Scombs do. Just me .02
