Does the 2" include the tail? (It should exclude the tail

)

I can't see any bristles on it in the pics.......
These are bristles. This one's just under 3".

Whereas my female albino BN of about the same size and age doesnt have any

So, the bristles only really start to show up from two inches plus (discounting tail)...?

teddyt · « **Reply #10 on:** March 24, 2018, 01:00:31 pm »

right ... he/she is just 2 inches with tail but it has a couple of things(bristles?) on its head are they starting or do all of this type have these.
and if not a BN then what is it?? I only have a 54lt tank

They all have the nostrils. My guess is that it's a female BN, but they may grow......
