	Identifying immature Trichopsis pumila vs. T. vittata
Joe Potato Fish Addict Kind of a Big Deal Posts: 869 Votes: 309 Registered: 09-Jan-2001	Good morning all. My LFS has a mixed tank of those two, and I'd really like to get a pair of just one species. The problem is that they're all so washed out from being in the LFS that I can't tell the difference, and the only guy who knows anything there is back at college. So, is there a halfway-reliable way to tell the difference between these two guys based on other aspects of morphology instead of just markings?
