scroll down and you will see a comparison
the way i tell is from the bklack dots on the tail, plus they look a bit more on the blue colour and the eyes are bigger on the tommies

It is usually the bigger eye, and the rough scales for me to identify the tommy rough, also they fight harder little tackers.
