Is there a easy way to tell the diffrence between a red U, acanthinurus and a red U, geyri? When they are about two years old. Maybe a stupid question...

"Is there a easy way to tell the diffrence between a red U, acanthinurus and a red U, geyri? When they are about two years old."

I think it would be easy to tell acanthinura and geyri apart at 2 days old.

Ok, like I said maybe a stupid question for you experts. Is the geyri so red after two days so you can see the diffrence after two days? Or how do you tell the diffrence?

Although the overall look (including pattern and coloration) differs- the tail is the major obvious difference.

The geyri has the longer tail, right?

Much more tapered than the wider acanthinura and dispar tails.
Here is an example (all I have handy) comparing a geyri and one of my black flavifasciata.

Thank you for all the help and you`re patience whit my stupid questions.

Funny... I didn't see any stupid questions at all.

You take some of the coolest photos Lindsay.

I would take a stubby tail over a long tail any day- especially if the stubby tail happened to be a princeps or thomasi.
