What is seen by one group may not be seen by another, and vice versa.
We cannot force a view that another group don't agree, but at least I expressed my point of view of the 2 fishes(from that region)

If only the group that said not the same share the differences of ST, CT, MT, VT and provide more evidences la. So far few bros including me has been asking these group of people but no responses

Totally agreed with you, Nidd. Some unscrupulous sellers maybe labelled their ST as so call true ST, and sell their fish at higher price and same time bringing down others STs as CTs.
