i think the nile perches still have there marble type patterns at 12" while the barramundi's become monotone. i also think that the nile perch has a taller dorsal fin. the ones i have a hard time telling apart are the Lates Japonicus and Lates Calcarifer at small sizes.

They do look very similar.

But if you have them side by side. You can see the differences quite easily.
