Royal or regular nile perch?

[Nzero]

Hey guys,

I was wondering how you can spot the difference between a royal and a regular nile perch when juvenile.
I bought 15 juvenile royal congo nile perch but they look pretty regular to me. Havend had succes with making a picture yet hope to post one soon.

Pattern would be the main factor

 

[Nzero]

Yes but i believe that the pattern on both is the same on juvenile stage.

Tropicwater has some Miguel. They get their stock from reutter.

Where is it Ben? Holland?

 

[Chub_by]

Germany but AFAIK they can deliver to stores troughout Europe.
