if you are lucky enough to get a male he will eventually go a beautiful metallic blue...

As you can see totally different body shape...
 
Boy they are really different...especially the face...i love different, so that is a great find in my mind,, very pretty too.
 
haha thanks, i went there for crickets, and i was waiting and looking at fish, just before she handed me the crickets i saw this guy hiding in the corner of the tank, it was an impulse buy for sure!
 
Zepplin; difficult to tell from your pics if male or female; look at the dorsal fin..is it pointy or rounded if pointy good chance you have a male; rounded usually means female. They can get to 11" in size but grow very very slow.
