Harlequin Rasbora VS Lambchop Rasbora

Okay so I came across a thread about someone getting some lambchop rasbora so I googled them to see what they looked like and they look almost exactly the same as harlequins. I just wanted to know the actual difference between them. I just got some "harlequin" rasbora form my LFS but now I'm questioning if they are harlequins because some of them look like the lambchop rasboras. Does anyone know the differences?

 

Look at the black marking in the center, in the lambchop it is thinner and elongnated and looks like a lambchop, hence the name On the harlequin it is thicker and wider. The lambchops get slighty smaller and have more of an orangey color and the harlequin have a more reddish color. Both really nice peaceful fish. I have the harlequins. Alison

 

Ohhhh, thank you for clarifying that lol. Now, I'm still not too sure which ones I have. I have a couple of pictures of them in my thread on my tanks. Would you be able to help me with IDing them? They do look more like harlequins but they seem a bit more orange than any red. Heres the link. I have pictures in post 67 and 71.
