Cb bottom

Like J jaws7777 mentioned not all CB endli have froggy eyes, if you cant find the froggy eyes you can always look at the head shape. Some CB will have a spoon head or a flat head but most wont due to massive production, another way to see too is WC have a longer head from the snout to the gills.

Here is another way to tell a WC endli vs CB endli.

Like J jaws7777 mentioned again not all CB endli will have this characteristics.
CB endli will have a thicker banned and some will have disorganized pattern. Their body gets thicker than WC endli but usually shorter. You wont be able to tell when they are young.
WC endli body are elongated compared to CB, patterns are more organized.

I think CB appear to be thicker than WC. IMO WC have far more potential in becoming thicker.
Here are my old 18" CB and 18" WC Endli(Which one appears to look bigger?) :)

Before, the WC Endli when I first got it was a twig compared to the CB Endli.(bottom left corner)

A week or two later, you can see the CB endli is still huge compared to it.
IMG_5704.jpg Fast forward a year or so. The two together next to an 18" Ansorgii. See these 3 are actually about the same girth (soda can sized).

True, Burbotman Burbotman cb endli is big, thicker than any WC endli ive seen.
His endli is definitely a beast but like I said before. CB endlis have that super thick appearance due to them being more compact. So they'll look taller and massive (maybe they store their fat in their back? While WC 's fat is more distributed? Just an assumption) .
You give Burbotman Burbotman a WC endli of the same length as his CB. I guarantee he'll have that thing just as massive as his CB. It just won't look as massive but in terms of girth, the two would be about the same with the WC being much wider while the CB being taller.
