Hi guys noob here, I’d appreciate any insight on my recent purchase. I got it about a month ago, and it had the usual juvenile SR colors (well according to Google lol): red-ish fins, shimmery scales that were almost white/silverish. (First photo) it was 6 inches give or take. It also had torn anal fin which has healed up nicely.

It has since darkened a bit, the lines between the scales on the dorsal side are purplish, and it’s grown about an inch. Thing is there hasn’t been any red color developing on the cheeks, lips or barbs. An aro keeper (from seeing photos/video) mentioned it could be an RTG.

Would you guys have a look please and let me know? Really appreciate it xx

Well, the certificate says 'super red'! Do you trust the seller?

Definitely not an RTG. Most probably SR.

Apart from slightly moth eaten fins, looks a nice fish.
