Jeez, how did you guess?   You gotta get up fairly early to catch you out Alan!  Their moto must be "get em out fast and if you don't know the answer to customers questions, make 'em up!"  Fancy introducing a bonus to staff for the amount of fish they sell.  It's gotta be asking for trouble!

Tracy when you ask is the edging of the fin white or orange, does that have something to do with sex?
I have a 3" GT and the edging of the fins are orange. What does that mean? I know nothing of GT's  ???

Stormbringer is correct  :)

White edging on the fins = Silver Saum aka False Green Terror or Aequidens cf rivulatus

I have also heard that the average store-brought GT is also considered a Saum, the Gold Saum (also A. cf rivulatus, and not the "true" Green Terror.  The "true" Green Terror is said to be extremely rare and substantially more expensive than a Saum.
