Here's a pictorial reference.

CB always have larger spots in their patterns. (Top pic)

WC markings are intense and a closer together. (Bottom)

nice, you can really see the difference there

DMD123 thanks for the info, now that you describe it like that I've definitely seen pictures of both and have noticed the ropefish-like build of the WC.

Fortunately, I like the look of them either way, but I do think that at some point down the road I'm going to hunt down a WC

I would love a wc myself. My cb is active and colorful but as it grew the bad cb characteristics started to show.

Finally found some red garnet sand!!! Well I hope this is the one! Got send a small sample of 12/20 grade. I've put it in the tank but can't really tell if it's the one as it's such a small sample!

It's got some potential there.

CB Ansorgii from Bluegrass Aquatics came today. Was told they were 4-6" but turns out it's 2". Definitely smaller than any other poly I've bought

That's some bad sizing by the store. Nice acquisition.

Yeah it really is. But I know they just made a lot of changes to their site so they're a little off right now.

The ansorgii makes 6, and the teugelsi coming tomorrow will be #7
