Soo I picked this Royal up from a fellow MFKer and he did not know which type it was... What he does know is he has had him for about 5 years.. it was imported out of Brazil, Xingu river he believes. I would love to be able to have a proper ID .

Thank you

Hard to tell. Try some in water shots with tail fin extended, and mouth shots. It a tough call, could be either L190 or L418 Titan.

If these are the two options i would lean towards the L418. Though my knowledge is very limited when it comes to royals
