Go to my thread: ID this knife please

I have a pic of my juvinile knife there. Compare the two pictures. Both look very similar to me but Ive been told it was a Chitala lopis...

I dunno whats going on now, if there is any difference between the two let me know.

 

[inspectahdeck34]

i dont see any differences at all but this is only the first knife i have ever owned so i do not know that much about them so still could use some help getting a positive ID on this knife thanx everyone

 

[inspectahdeck34]

AFRICAN KNIFE.

I agree. Definatly an african brown knife.

 

[inspectahdeck34]

but hes not brown hes silver is it possible that he will change color ??? i dont know lol i guess the only way i am going to know is to let him grow a bit right

It's not an African Brown Knife. They don't have dorsal fins. The pictures are a bit grainy, but I think it might be a Notoperus Notoperus. If the head looks like an African Brown Knife, but it has a dorsal fin than it's a good chance that it's a N. Notoperus. If it's spotless and looks like a regular Clown Knife, then it's a good chance that it's a Chitala Lopis.
