Which Gn Is This?

[Delloy12]

So your saying that the two new pics I've uploaded are both Bn

 

[xingumike]

no, the one on the left is a gold nugget the one on the right is a BN.

but the one on the left is not your fish

 

[Delloy12]

I know its not my fish.....but it looks identical

 

[xingumike]

It really doesn't

 

[Delloy12]

Why doesn't it then.

 

[ZoddyZod]

there is absoloutely no yellow in the fish on the right, perhaps?

how much did you pay for yours?

 

[Delloy12]

The right is a Bn and the left is gn....the left is identical to mine..

 

[xingumike]

Why doesn't it then.

Without meaning to sound facetious, use your eyes.

It's like asking why I don't look like you.

Was it sold to you as a Gold nugget? I'd be having words with the retailer if so.

 

[ZoddyZod]

The right is a Bn and the left is gn....the left is identical to mine..

so yours has a distinctive yellow stripe across the top & back fins? Because your picture (although tinted blue) does not suggest that and very much appears to be a bristlenose.

Yes, it had yellow tips and dots on its body

It's the second link..

but your photo shows a fish with translucent (see through) tips to both fins. A GN has solid black fins with yellow edges. Using the links Mike has posted, here are two pictures that show the differences clearly.

A BN - with very similar fins to yours

A GN - with solid black fins & yellow tips - which your fish does not show

play with your camera and remove the blue setting - I'm sure it's possible.

I took all the blue out in CS4 last night to make sure I wasn't going mad.

I'm not
