Anyone got any tips on differentiating P. aethiopicus from P. annectens? Apart from the adult size of course. I just got another lung, and it seems more slender than my annectens was at that size. Also has a faint "network" pattern. Damn, I used to have this great book on fish of africa that had diagrams of all four species with external characteristics like scales, caudal length, etc.
 
Aethiopicus generally have more pattern then the annectens, pictures would help.
