Temensis vs Azul I'd?

[gourami guru]

So I ordered 3 temensis peacocks. I'd like to know for sure if they are temensis or not. I've seen the cichla I'd sticky but tems and azuls look so similar at a young age. Any way of telling them apart?

Post a better picture the fish looks really stressed. It does look like azul to me though.

I’d say azul as well tems don’t tend to have an outline around the lateral line at that size

I'll try to take some better pics. If these turn out to be azuls I'm going to be pissed.

These guys seem healthy and eat like crazy but they are still very scared when I stand in front of the tank. Pics of these guys are hard to get but here are a few more.

Those pics aren’t much better lol, but based off both sets of pics it looks like I see spangles in the tail and 5 bars. I still say azul.

Those are Azuls! You can recognize then by the vertical bars

Damn I thought they were tems because of the Spangles. Then after doing some research I was seeing azuls have spangles when young too. I should've asked before buying! Anyone interested in buying some azuls? Lol
