lates calcifer, AKA barramundi.Capo said:Ohhh! Awesome little guy! Congrats!
Just curious though, what is the difference between Barramundi and Nile Perch?!?!
Obviously there is something but what is it?
nice catch...ashdavid said:Here are those pics that were asked for. He is about 4" right now.
Nile perch grow a lot bigger up to 200kg, and there are slight differences in the body shape, plus barramundi can do better in brackish water.Capo said:Yeah...but what are the differences?
I can see that the nile perch has a darker stripe on top but barramundi get that sometimes too when in salt water and that yellowy colour.
Do they grow the same size etc?
Africa and Australia have a few fish which are very similar, well there is this example and then there is the Kob and Jewfish (mulloway, butterfish etc)
Very strange!
Yes this is the one that has the gold color morph.IoStrisciare said:is this the one tt would get a gold color?
