I dont buy into the claims people make that you can truly tell the difference between CB and WC from appearance.

It is true some CB bichirs do have distinct traits or defects that you dont see in wild caught individuals, and when dealing with poorly bred farm animals this can become more frequent, so yes some can be identified fairly safely as CB, but i'm sure that there are MANY perfectly normal "wild looking" cb's are out there.

So although you can spot a CB animal from appearance if they display CB traits, you can't really id them as WC on appearance alone.

With all that said, I based on traits that people look for to distinguish WC from CB's that one looks "WC", looks quite a bit like mine actually, and i know mine are WC tikinso guinea.

Nice find though, CB or WC, either way I'd be happy to add that endlie to my collection!

+1 the only ways you can get close to a definite answer is the place you bought them from and size. But really you can garantee it's a WC or CB only rule out one or the other. If it's a larger size then it could be either WC or CB. If it's not from a chain it could be WC or CB. You can only really tell if it's not WC by if it's small at a chain store or if it's at a chain store. You can only make and educated guess is what I guess I'm trying to say
