Yup, they look quite similar, only when you start really looking that's when you'd see the subtle differences, also depends on whether the khudree you're looking at is a hybrid or the real khudree from Maharashtra or the hybrid released by the govt.Jib's at his best. Appreciate the IDs.
The more I stare at my Tor malabaricus (1.5') and Tor khudree (2'), the more I get why the former is too called Tor khudree malabaricus. Hard for me to see any difference.
And the worst is when you don't have proper identification pics, and the fish look different based on season or availability of type of food.Appreciate the tips bro and I had no clue that the hybridization had been thrown in... as if there was not enough ID trouble.
It would help my crude eye if my fish were the same size but I will stare some more at them, hopefully
Right. The breeding season can bring about significant changes (to a trained eye) in fish appearance even musculoskeletal but the feed availability I'd think mostly, or rather only, can affect coloration significantly. It also affects the gastrointestinal system but that occurs unbeknown to us laymen.And the worst is when you don't have proper identification pics, and the fish look different based on season or availability of type of food.
