Those guys are tiny. Good luck with them :thumbsup:
I wonder if that stripeless might be a Notopterus Notopterus. It might be too soon to tell though. If so, they're the smaller of the Notopterus species maxing out at about 2ft, but I believe they are also the most aggressive out of all the species as well.

Royals have a spot-like stripe pattern. I've never seen them for sale less than 6" though. And by then, their patterns are pretty pronounce so you can tell. At 4"...that's a bit tough. The other thing I've noticed about Royals are the fact that they are more silver body whereas a regular Clown is more of a grayish green tone.

Well the the guy who owns my LFS knows alot about fish. I mean i hear alot about how people go to there LFS and the people there don't know anything about fish. I wish every town had a fish store guy like i do. I trust him more then i would trust my own mother. He gets alot of his fish as baby's. Like i got a betta from him that wasn't no bigger then 1"

I found the spots on the guy in question. Must have just been the lighting. He's a clown
