I've kept those, they seem to be Nile perch or at least look exactly like the ones I bought which the guy said were nile perch.

I dont think so :-s. But I'm no expert tho :D. I have 3 right now. When they're in the 75 with my dats and bichirs, they dont have any patterns or stuff. Just a dark brown. Sometimes they color up a bit. But when I moved one to a 10 with my 6" gars. He showed great patterns! Will try to get pics tmr :D

See there ya go...I think the whole Royal thing is a con to capitalize and jack up the price for Nile perches that look a certain way.
