I have these two Uaru's which ones are they? I just know they are Uaru's the first one cost $20 and the second one cost $10. They dont look to be the same to me. The first one used to have a marble pattern and it's fading away to a pale color.

There's no horizontal barring, which rules out Uaru fernandezyepezi, so I'd put money on them both being the same species, U. amphiacanthoides.
 
im pretty sure they are both Uaru amphiacanthoides.

second one is just younger.

...although..the red eye in the second one is throwing me off some..first one is definitely amphiacanthoides though
 
both are definetly amphiacanthoides
 
they get red eyes aswell--- for TMO

So the same species can have different color eyes? I guess kinda like people or dogs?

my best guess with a feature like that is it may differ depending on lacation of origin, but probably not- not sure exactly where the species is collected and if there is more than one place- my example would be the difference between markings and coloration of coasta rica dovii V.S that of a niceraguan dovii.
