I recently bought a BEAUTIFUL pair of nics from the local Aquazoo

I know I have a male and female, but I'm a little puzzled, from the websites I've looked at, they've said the male in the less colorful one, with long fins and a small forehead "Bump" and the female is brilliantly colored with round fins...

Well that's not the case in my pair =]

My colorful nic has long pointed fins with a forehead "Bump" and my grey is smaller with completely rounded fins... All the opposite of what I see everywhere...

Anyone care to shed some light on this matter? Does the internet have it backwards?
Here's a link to a pic on the internet, where they look opposite of mine:

Here's pics of my pair =] You compare







Any help is appreciated greatly! =]

First pic is definitely the female. Male (last pic) looks to be pretty young still. They look like the online pics to me.

Males should more than likely lose that horizontal stripe and be left with a splotch in the middle, beyond that the male will end up with a cross-hatched pattern of black on most of his body... I agree the first picture looks to be female and the las picture the young male is in front...
