Lates japonicus or niloticus?

[mad ness]

just picked this guy up. Thought it looked like a fish i saw in a fish book but upon checking, somehting else. Was looking for a Centropopmus nigresens

Had the similar lateral line in the shop. Must have been the light cos when they took it out of the tank, I saw the markings.

Japonicus or Niloticus?

Looks like a nile to me.
I'm sure someone else will have a better opinion

 

[mad ness]

Niloticus = nile, right?

 

[Dudzy]

Sure does

I'd say Nile, But could be wrong.

 

[caribemob]

100 percent nile perch

 

[Bogwoodbruce]

certainly looks like a nile to me the colouration and body depth is wrong for a japonicus

thanks. this guy changes colors from full tan/silver to camoflauge brown with chrome patches. cool fish but likes to hide and when he does come out bullies the tarpons and pbass.

online photo search pulls up some big fish. is this the same fish we are talking about?

if so, how fast does it grow and will it be aggressive against other predator fish half its size?

 

[gardneri88]

how about this fish,is this same of yours or different species?

front view,look like indo dATZ/silver datz?
