here is a better closeup of the scales on the forehead. I still count well more than 9 rows of scales

Yeah I know the difference between the two sp. but I guess that we just need a better side view of the fish in question.

Posts #20 - #23 are the fish in question. The photos were taken this morning.

Well if that is the same fish as the oringinal post than it is definalty a comp. You can tell just by looking at it. Guess it was just hard to distinguish from the oringinal pic. Nice one by the way too.

Thank you Honda12. I do understand that the first pic was a bit difficult to discern, which is why I went nuts with the camera this morning. I was able to get great shots of all of my fish this morning. well, except my yellow calvus, they were camera shy today.

that's not the best way to distinguish the two.

Yeah I was going to say I swoar my calvus had scales on their forehead too, but I had no proof, thanks MlL.

An ADULT? yes. Did you happen to catch the part of the conversation where we stated that the fish here in question were juveniles, at less than 2"? Most of the more discernable differences are not as obvious when the fish are younger.

Sorry, i think i may have mistook your point in that, were you referancing the scales on the head? If so, you make a good point on that, It does appear as there are more than nine rows on that fishes forehead. Though it is hard to tell.
