How to tell difference between nigriventris and zebra kutu?

Post by Mika »

Is it easy to see the difference between these two? I believe that one LFS has those labelled as common nigriventris and are selling them at prise 6â?¬ while "zebra kutus" costs 20â?¬ a piece.
I found these photos about these two species from internet.

One wholesaler has these labelled as "zebra kutu" is it correct?
