For the new Turkana Arrivals. Not enough specimens to elaborate on at this present time. We only have a few Turkana PBB that is currently public for us to compare, i.e. JINN /YouTube and Japanese photos pre 2012.

I aksed mike a few questions interested to see.
That's the same turkana pbb they are posting on fb. Thats the YouTube celebrity pbb lol I would give my leg for it.
I'll ask here see what you guys have to say:
So is there pics of other turkana's ? Or is it just this one ? What are the differences ? I mean I can see the eyes being a little different but could the slight differences be attributed to it's size and or age ?
I have my opinions on how most Turkana PBB should look like. But it's only based on access to a few pics. When they were collecting. I'm certain very few survived the trip.
This is JINN in Japan. Apparently it looks as he has 3 specimens. Now compare yourself to the differences to the older Chad PBB (25"+)
@jaws7777 @Vancouver_98683 I do know some who have snapped up the latest Turkana PBBs - will try and get some pics to share.
In the meantime, @Vancouver_98683, what are the archetypal features of a turk PBB?

Pics of 2 of the 6 turkana PBBs which came in just under a month ago. @Vancouver_98683 @jaws7777. Feel free to chime in - my personal opinion is that these are legit turk PBBs.

To me the TPBB in post 21 looks nothing like the TPBB in post 23, and 25 .infact none of them look the same lol
Then again the two pbb I had were from Chad and both looked different. I sold one as it was too aggressive but it was much darker (nicer looking) than the one I kept.
Keeper is in the 1st pic and left of second pic (weren't settled in yet)

Here's one in from Singapore. Some have been paid for and just waiting for quarantine.
TBH It's very hard to judge fish from just pictures. You would have to see them in person. I've never seen a Turkana in person before.
I can only say I"d take any of them at 24"+.Here are some Turkana PBBs from Big-in-JP 24"-30". Some of these piece cost about $6k-$10k USD each.
