When young 27's don't have the black white banding on their tails
Like this borrowed from evolutions on arofanatics

Price as mentioned but some vendors or LFS charge a lot for 190's ,191's and 330's

Teeth pattern, body colour, pattern/stripes, body shape

It's best to post an ID thread if you're not sure. Sucks to pay more a fish than you should

i got give credit to Jackson for pointing that out about the banding on the tail fin.

ah ha! after seeing DavidR and lmt6600s pictures, I finally understand the difference between the teeth! narrower ^ for the L190 vs the Widder/Fatter ^ for the xingu! Altho I've have a much better understanding thanks to all the experienced fellas' words, I also agree with everyone that it's best to post a picture to be sure. nothing to feel unmanly or embarrassed about. money is money, and it really sucks to pay too much than one should for a fish. Altho sometimes that's the only way to learn ... paying tuition!!! ha!

This pleco thing... I can totally see that this pleco fever is more addicting and dangerous than asian arowanas. I say dangerous because even they cost less per piece... it's exactly why you end up buying so many more.... sheez!
