Pure Bd or hybrid?

Sup everyone, are theses pure or bd hybrids? Thanks!

Yes, they look like very nice BD's (tail looks appropriate as well).

No one can really answer this without the parental lineage though. Many of what is described as BD today is in fact hybrid farther back in the lineage to either improve the size and/or color of the spots. Tough to say with any level of conviction these days to be honest. Those rays have beautiful spots and color regardless.

I agree, they do look like BD's to me

Thanks guys... they came from Asia and I know most rays there are mixed and not 100% pure

This looks like what people would be calling a BD and very well could be. Nice looking rats. Congrats
