tomato vs cinnamon

[jubjub]

been doing some research and ive kind of come to the conclusion i like both of these but i really am having a hard time telling them apart, i see some pics that cinnamons have the yellow tails and some that the tomato's have yellow tails?

is the difference, basically the cinnamon has a red->black body while the tomato is pretty much uniformally orangish/redish?

i have never seen a Tomato with yellow tail at my LFS, i had some about ten yrs ago and i like the colors better than the cinn. they are more aggressive than most clowns, kinda like my sister, she is a true red head! :lol:

The best way (but not 100%) is that A. melanopus have black pelvic fins and A. frenatus do not.

I am having the same problem with identifying which is a tomato and which ones are cinnamon. I purchased what is thought to be a cinnamon from saltwaterfish.com to pair up with my other cinnamon. When i received it, it resembled more of a tomato than a cinnamon. Anyone have a clue what she is? I'm 90% sure it's a tomato.

Also, with the black pelvic=cinnamon, I wouldn't count on it to identify whether it is tomato or cinnamon. This site might be a good reference to ID both species:
