Is this a regular sailfin or a Desjardini? Its a Juvenile and about 2 inches in size. when his fins are open the bottom fin is basically pure yellow.

I used to prefer the Des, but in my LFS we have a huge (bigger than a dinner plate) Velifer, their colours are so much nicer than a Desjardini.

Also, here’s the Des we had compared to the Velifer we still have if you want to compare 2 aL most full adults (6-7 inch minimum).

Me too usually! But she was just super pretty for a pacific! She also was a rescue, I cant say no to rescues…
 
My wife was thinking it might have been a Des but I said regular because we didn't pay enough for it. I'm happy either way they are all great looking i just wanted a sailfin so i'm more than happy.
