Channa micro or diplo?

[Betta Muchi]

Hello, can anyone tell the number of caudal rays? I've read that micros has 14 caudal fin rays while diplos have 15 to 17 but I'm not too sure about how to go about counting the rays.

Looks like
Micropeltes Channa juvenile.

After looking at the juvenile of both it was difficult to identify. So now I realize why people are counting the fin rays.
