My local fish shop as well as an online vendor is selling juvenile royal clown knifes. Me being in the hobby for 12 years, I am kind of iffy because I have seen regular juvenile clown knifes and they look very close to being a royal clown knife. What do royal clowns like look as babies? I have always always wanted a royal clown knife but they only are available like 9'' up here. Are they ever available in smaller sizes?
If anyone knows, could I see a picture of a baby royal clown? What are some things to look for that will differentiate a baby reg clown and a baby royal?
 
As the owner of a regular Clown knife fish, the biggest difference should be that the royal Clown knife has lots of small spots that change into stripes as they get closer to the knife like fin. Regular Clown knifefish have a lower number of thicker spots, and spots only.
