Hello! I’m newer to owning Tarantulas. I currently have a Mexican red knee, Pink toe, Brazilian salmon bird eater, and I most recently got a ‘Venezuelan blue’ as the store called it, I’ve never heard of this kind so when I researched it, it came up as a green bottle blue. I’m wondering if these are the same species just different names for it? The spider is still young so I’m not seeing any colors on it, could anyone confirm the kind of Tarantula this is? Thank you :) I attached photos!

Welcome to TF, Em :) Excellent choices for your first tarantulas. This is the main reason hobbyists insist on using proper names, so there is absolutely no confusion over what the spider is. There are many species that are brown at that size. I couldn't begin to guess, sorry :(

There is just over 2 inches, but now that I’m aware of the species I want to add more. Do you have any reccomonadations on how much to have?

I don't have this species, but i have a pet hole (burrower). The substrate should be filled up to no more than 1.5x the legspan of the tarantula.
