Yea...far from a noob bro. We do need better pictures but that is far from an NTT...and def has tail markings different from just about any IT I have seen. It is at least an IT.
Its funny how everyone knows exactly what it is but first it was "100% NTT", then its "100% IT"...with know explanation no less

. But its tail is extremely peculiar for IT. I've been keeping dats for years (currently have about 20 from 1" to 15" in 3 separate tanks. I am not sure its a Pulcher but it is at least a very rare looking and interesting IT (ARE YOU ALL EVEN LOOKING AT THE TAIL BARS?).
Its been a really long time since most of us have seen baby ST and from what I hear, they are out there somewhere. That said, there are even some ST that look like Indo. So...all I can say is I hope he pulls through and
at least O has a really nice and rarer looking IT.
Its funny though that with all the "experts" who are chiming in (including me

...but not really), we can't even agree on what it is...But we all know its not an ST


?
