I have seen all over the web and forums arguments about b.fila and b.caps juvies. They are all sold as both. Now what I want to know is has anyone grown them out to know for sure which is which? If so do share, and pics or vids would be great. The funny thing is cap don't look like filas at all when grown but as juvs they are so similar.

No matter what any of these guys say there is no way to tell at this young of an age. They look extremely similar if not in some cases identical. For example someone saying they an tell its a b.cap by the temperament from just a photo. Do research outside of just asking people on here because for some reason there seems to be hostility for whatever reason all the time. Just research on google, yahoo and bing and you will read more information that will give you factual data that states how to differentiate these two species. Photos WILL NOT give you a 100% answer or even a 70% answer. So people saying yes or no is just a guess. Unfortunately these fish have VERY little captive research to justify exact differences between the two species. From my research the ONLY 100% known way to differentiate the two is by their upper pad of teeth and I believe something to do with their insides which require dissection. So hate to say it but a photo and responses are just guesses. It's the same as someone saying hey here's my cichla and its wild caught and someone arguing that its captive bred. Sorry but you cannot tell these differences as juvies.

See my new post, it show the difference between two fish. the baby B.cap 's temperament is really bad.(before 5') so they usually destroy their nose by go crazy and hit the wall very hard.
