How do you tell them apart?

This is my guy.


Thanks

First of all, try to make some more pics...especially from the tailfin.

I have both species...identifying them is sometimetis diffucult. De L191 has broken lines as a juvenile/ semi adult.....the L418 has lines like a L190...also the tailfin has some yellow

This is a juvenile L418




This is a L191

P. Titan have broken lines as well. Pattern varies from fish to fish.

When you have both types in front of you it's very easy to tell them apart. Trying to ID through pics is not always easy.

Op's fish is 191

maybe you should take a look at the pics......those are two different L418's...I don't see broken lines like the L191

Thanks for the replies guys

Tail is solid with yellow tips, there is no window or band on tail.

I see broken lines on the fish in your first pic. Not sure what you consider broken lines.

P. Titan young one mostly solid lines


P. Titan young one broken lines

I'm having issues posting pics sorry for adding another post

Not the best pic but shows P. Titan and P. Nigrolineatus Shows solid lines VS broken lines. Two fish in front Here's that P. Titan alone broken lines.


We have 4 and all of them have broken lines asides from one who has mostly solid lines in the pic in the previous post

sure


the lines of a L191 are broken, that means al small lines


the L418 are not......they have longer lines

Look up the definition of the word broken.

You need to read this. It's a link to the dictionary.

They both have broken lines. Big ones small ones it doesn't matter what size the lines are they're broken and not solid.

I have to read this ??? Command you're dog

Won't take part in word struggles

the lines of a L191 are more broken.

Iff you think you're right that ok for me..

You're right Rob what can I say more broken isn't broken.
