My 2's fins look excatly the same though
Waaa na UH! Are they yellow? Wow their colours are crap then! lol. The photos I've seen of yellow ones have been bright yellow but mine are quite dull. My female is mostly what I'd call brown
In the photos in that thread, neither of the fish look like a wild coloured male - those are golden tan, with a yellow top fin and a black bit to their bottom fin, quite a deep colour. The pics in posts #3 and #4 here show the wild coloured male.

Wild coloured females are a light brownish silver often with a dark brown stripe from nose to tail.
The ones in your pics looked very pale yellow with a bit of darker yellow on their fins. I've seen honeys the same colour as the ones in your pic labelled as yellow honeys in my local maidenhead aquatics. A few years ago, I also saw some cream coloured honeys in one shop, but I haven't seen any since.
Having said that, I do know that tank lights can make fish look a different colour in photos than in real life, and I appologise if your fish really do look wild coloured in the flesh.
