You should calibrate your monitor as they are very dark on mine which is
moderately well calibrated. I'd guess you're doing this on a mac as mac
images always tend to look darker on pc (I'm viewing them on a hp unix box).

Based on their anal fins they are not wanams. The posterial rays should
progressively get longer.

The other thing worth checking is the pattern of scales above and just behind
the pectoral fins. You'd have to see the diagram in the 1980 rainbow book by
Allen and Cross.
