I can see what you mean about the black and up's. The laps in qt is with black gravel. I like the way he looks but wouldnt want a tank with black substrate. Gotta settle for pfs or garnet/red flint sand.
Hate to tell ya bro lol but laps and pbbs look almost identical when 14" and under lol no matter what substrate it's really really hard to tell em apartRed, purple, garnet-ty semi-bright substrate is a way to go. I got a wild lap just like yours. Was green in a dark substrate at the store. Here's mine on red. Kinda resembles a young pbb right? Lol

Jaws, I'd go with red garnet-ty type sand too if I can find them. Just didn't want to deal with shipping. The addition of the XXXXXL plus one more "X" sized red gravel was more of a $35 quick experiment (45lbs). to see how much change would occur. Man! it's amazing!
Askayleymandfish, my juvie pbb will change to it's nigerian lap clothing soon. The PBB label is only temporary. It's pushing about 12-13" now.
