I also have a nile perch var from niger (but he is still small and has not gone through the color change yet) and I have another Varient comming soon that originates from nigeria, they both are supposed to have a distinct color difference to the great nile perch.

what color will the other be?

The nile perch varients usually have a distinct gold color to them, but they have also been known to show other colors like a purpley sheen.

do post pics of yours!

i read tt those tt live entirely in freshwater have a goldish sheen....

while the brackish ones are silver
 
I will get those pics as soon as I get the new Var nile perch. But b/c they have not gone through the color change yet , they all look pretty much the same apart from the patterns on them. The only real big difference is the Varient nile perch's have a distinct swimming style, they swim with their nose's pointed down, but with the great nile perch they swim relativly flat.
