You should have mentioned, they're the balloon form...
Electric Blues are already hard to sex as pretty much all the colour cues are bred out of them. Balloon-Forms additionally have longer fins...

I pass.

Due to the visual appearance these fish are not able to communicate with each other properly, resulting in erratic and more aggressive behaviour. I'd return one and stick to a single specimen. These fish are highly sensitive to stress and seeing the tank it would be the better choice.

Fish so "modified" from their natural form are almost impossible to sex at a young age/size. I'll pass, too.

Remember, the balloons are generally shorter, if these were the normal shape they would be about 4cm long and a good half cm less high build.
