if i had to guess what the first one was, i would guess an Indo for 2 reason.

1) tail marking as an indo (but not always the case).
2) the middle bar is not sweeping back. it seems like it goes straight down but there is a marking missing to make it look like it is sweeping back.

My theory is that from what i hear, Indo are now farm raised (correct me if i am wrong). There been an abundance of little indo coming in labeled as widebars, wouldn't you think the farm find the ones that are deformed strips (deformed meaning not the regular indo strips) and sell these off as widebars??? again, don't quote me but it is just a theory of mine.

I've haven't seen true baby widebars for years now.

did the guy just import it in when you got it??? i do have a dat that is in my procession for over a year now and its only 5". it doesn't prove anything to me unless number 1, the fish was illegal imported or 2, in my case had it for awhile.

Mine didn't grow cause i used one of my dats as dither and instead of moving it to the main tank, it showed much better color when it was in the smaller tank.

Like I said in my OG post, its just my theory.
