First of all, try to make some more pics...especially from the tailfin.

I have both species...identifying them is sometimetis diffucult. De L191 has broken lines as a juvenile/ semi adult.....the L418 has lines like a L190...also the tailfin has some yellow

This is a juvenile L418

P. Titan have broken lines as well. Pattern varies from fish to fish.

When you have both types in front of you it's very easy to tell them apart. Trying to ID through pics is not always easy.

Op's fish is 191

I see broken lines on the fish in your first pic. Not sure what you consider broken lines.

You need to read this. It's a link to the dictionary.

They both have broken lines. Big ones small ones it doesn't matter what size the lines are they're broken and not solid.
