Were these purchased from same source? Are they the same overall size? (the second looks smaller/younger)

Do they have any red in the pectoral fins?

Cheers, Eric

I don't own them yet. Someone is selling them for $10 each and says they were unlabeled when he got them imported and still is searching for an L number. Asking if they have red on their pectoral fins!
