The real ACK.....John or Russell?

Many anglers are not aware that not all snappers
with a black spot are called 'Ang Chor Kee'

The picture below is actually 'Ang Chor', otherwise
known as John's Snapper. This fish grows beyond 1 kg
and the spot on the fish seems faded...

Below is the real 'Ang Chor Kee', also known as
Russell's Snapper. The spot on this palm size fish
is much darker and distinctive....

Another picture of the Real McCoy.......红皂记

Below is another different specie altogether. Although it
has the yellow stripes of the Spanish Flag Snapper
and the black spot resembling the Russell's Snapper,
this one is called the Blackspot Snapper...

I hope this will help you identify your future catch...
