Tonight has been the first time I've got decent pictures of my B. albos to post here for your opinion. I've always known that Tinto was different, it was the smallest from the start and much more shy than the other 2. Coco came from a well known pet shop in the UK whereas Jalen and Tinto came from a seller in Scotland and I've always presumed they were siblings. Now I have doubts or can this variation be put down to the fact that the hobby B.albos are thought to be hybrids?

Here's the problem. The hobby form can have some influence of B. vagans hybridization and may also be different in natural color and form than the recently imported Nicaraguan curlies as seen above. My hobby forms have less curliness and are REDDISH!! Ye gods.
