I went to the LFS to pick up a special order, so of course I got stuck looking around, especially at the peacock tanks. One tank had some marked "Ruby Red", but these didn't look like the rubies I've seen pics of before. They were very pale, white with some pink speckling in front. Granted they were only 1.75" long if that.

In the next tank were "Asst peacocks" including a bunch which look a lot more like Rubies to me, though they're also at that small size. (Second pic). Is it possible to tell gender this early with a red one like this. Can we tell if it's Eureka, German, or Rubescens?

Would a female aulo. be this red at this small a size or is it likely that this one is male?
