Differences between royal clown knife and clown knife?

[Mtnbike719]

What are the differences between a royal clown knife and a clown knife fish (Besides how they look )? Will one grow larger than the other? Will either fit in a 135 for a few years if I buy them one when it is young? Is one easier to take care of or will one of them grow slower? Please let me know, thanks!

i have found them identical to keep,they both grow to about the same size as far as i know and the rck is supposed to be a bit more peaceful but other than that it's just looks and the latin name-clown knife(chitala chitala),royal clown(chitala blanci)

differn't species but i've herd royals stay a little smaller but both can grow to 30'' eazaly so if you upgrade you should be fine for a while in a 135 for a while but you will need a bigger tank
and care is the same. both grow fast not really fast but quick i'd say clown knifes grow faster but thats cause i think thay grow bigger
