But does this mean that, other than the dorsal, the two look exactly the same?

The dorsal count method is helpful when you try to ID juvenile fish.

The jaw structure is quite diff. Do a google search and probably you will see the diff.

Do these fishes do well when kept entirely in freshwater?

The jaw structure is quite different. It's quite evident once you have seen them both.

This is Megalops Cyprinoides, please click on the link.

And this is Megalops Atlanticus.

They are also not found in the same waters.

Thanks bro, will try tmr. With my newly bought small orinos

Hey bros, nice looking. I kept them before and I remember how reflective and silvery white they are..

However I think they will never grow to be giants like those tarpons u see in the seas and oceans..

somehow related but I don't think they are the exact same ones but even if so, mine didn't grow much while I fed it MP..

Are these fully freshwater fish?

Most of the info on the web seem to refer the marine species?

Beautiful fishes, those japs really got nice fishes
