Hi all,
Need help in ID-ing these royals as I haven't gotten any comfirmation after posting in AF.
First royal is bought from a bro in AF as a xingu. However, looks more to me like a tapajos or tocantin

This is my 3rd one that requires ID. Bought from patrick at lot35 arowana farm. Apparently someone traded in this and a Red-Faced monkey for another fish. He doesn't know what plec* it is so I conveniently grabbed it from him.

Okay, guess I gotta be careful in buying these fellers in the future. Feel quite cheated right now haha. But I guess the sellers bought it as what they r selling it too. :)

Welcome abroad Ang.
IMO, looks like PG to me though........ :)
The first is L190, 2nd one looks like PG to me and third one is L191. As for feeling cheated I would rather get a 5-6 inches L191 compared to a similar sized PG ;)

My guess also. Anyway a big size L191 is also quite rare here.

Here only? think everywhere also rare. But why is it so? How come only see large Peru green and no juv Peru green and vice versa? Maybe one would say collection point different, but i bet they are not far off from one another, could be be immgration at different stage of their lifehood? Jus a thinker as this has also been puzzling me. :)
