My house!!!!!
Hey guys, just got these two and wonder if they're royal or common nile perch :3. My friend, which is an ancient guy, a MFKer told me that royals max size is only 16" and have great patterns forever!!! However, those common will get up to 3'+ and loose their patterns gradually when they grow up. Can you guys tell me why I have?
P/s: pics aren't the best, but new pics coming soon!

This is a royal nile perch. Do you see the difference? The pattern is more blotched and the black is dark black and the gold is bright gold- and it's always like this. See how dull brown yours are and the pattern is different. Yours are guarantee 100% common nile perch, end of story, I'll bet my house on it. Convinced yet?
