Please help ID these little Dats!

Pics are not great but much better! I was told they were 6 bar dats at purchase.....they were not at all stable and in brackish water. One appears to IT...the other looks a lot like my At as identified previously by this forum.....What do you all think??

I'm thinking AT and thinbar? No? They both look stable.

Yeah...they are enjoying freedom! Thin Bars have 6 Bars. These have 8.

 

[Chefken]

Anyone? Can an AT have 8 bars??

Are the pictures of two different fish or of one fish as they all look like Americans?One AT give away is they almost always have what looks like a black circle in their jaw/gill stripe.

Two different fish. Thanks for replying....You may be right. One has a more slender body and golden color. The other looks like an AT for sure! They came in together and look the same when not stable.

Good for you for even finding one as the only AT in my area is in a store where they don't want to sell it.

The AT that they have at the store is about five inches but it was brought in by someone and they keep it in a tank with aquatic plants that they have for sale......I'm also looking for an NGT but you won't be complete untill you get your hands on a pulcher....
