True Siamese Flying Foxes??

Can anyone tell me if these are real or the imposters? Sorry for the picture quality.

They look like true SAE's to me.

eh, they look like foxes to me, the lighter stripe above the black is a bit strong

I thought the top of the fish looked shadowed. If that is a golden stripe then they are foxes. SAE's don't have that distinct stripe.

yeah, I did too pink, but in the 2nd pink, I think it's pretty distinctively golden.... closer up on the mouths though might help get a more sure opinion though...

All those are Siamese flying foxes, not the true SAE's.

SAE's don't have a defined gold stripe like that. Pics of a true SAE and false SAE. A flying fox is slightly different from the false SAE.

here is a true SAE:

here is a flying fox:

The stripe on your fish appears to go through the tail. That, a defined stripe and (usually) a colored dorsal fin is a flying fox:
