I think you will be able to tell the difference. Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

I'm with Sunil, I think the mouth size difference will make WM vs BG obvious in fish the same size. I mean, look at this WM gullet: "Live like you'll die tomorrow, but manage your grass like you'll live forever." -S. M. Stirling
