Oh wow.
I haven't heard of anyone getting any of these fish since Jeff Rapps was in the business.

They are very rare. And, I seriously hope you have been able to purchase the 'real deal'
Aequidens sapayensis, Golden Acara. Unfortunately, the first picture you put up, of the two together, gives me pause. The speckles on the cheeks and gill pate on one of them look (suspiciously) a bit well, blue. True Golds are supposed to have - gold speckles.
And is it possible at this point in the hobby, that Gold Acaras have become a bit like the Blue Acara? That is, the Blue Acara has been crossed out with so many different Aquidens species, to the point that there aren't many 'true' Aquidens pulcher left.
Regardless... they are very cool-looking Cichlids. And, thanks for sharing them with us! 8)
