Are you 100% sure they are Surinam Cobalts? They look somewhat like Brazilian Cobalts (also known as Brazilian Yellow Heads).

To be honest I am not totally certain. I figured I'd let them mature and see how the colors turn out before I make any assumptions. I know the parents were sold to my mom as Suriname Cobalts. I do agree that they have a lot of yellow/orange tones on the head and back, which I feel is very similar to the Brazilian Cobalt. I will get some more pics up soon...

Thanks,

As they are getting bigger, the black on the back is spreading out a LITTLE, but not nearly as much as what is seen in the parents they came from. Very odd. I would love some input on this from the community!

Thanks John! I will post new pics soon...

As a side note to the pictorial display, in regards to the toe-pads, I was wondering if anyone would venture a guess on sex? I think the Tinc on the left(large, heart-shaped toe-pads) is male, while the Tinc on the right has smaller more rounded toe-pads. Keep in mind they are approx. 4 months old now... I just think there are some early signs of sexual dimorphism.

Cardinal rule is never judge a tinc by pattern...For example Ill post My male blue sip...he is on the left. The pattern says new river, but is 100% blue sip. After digging in though some people classify the blue sips and new river same species. Frogs can always throw some crazy patterns/ colors sometimes. You should always buy from a trusted breeder and if you got them from someone you trust I would follow what they say.

I was able to sex out a male Citronella at less than 6 weeks out of the water because of its huge toe pads. However, one of its siblings that I kept which had small toe pads in comparison, turned out to be a male too but this was only apparent around month 9 or so. Therefore I would urge you to never judge a young tinc's sex early.
