    Similis or Sirtralis...just checking...

    I have 3 Florida Blues, all bought at different times, or that's what I bought them as. but can you all just have a quick look at the scrub on the right... his side stripe is much more pronounced and a lot more blue than the other two...
    I was happy until I saw the thread on the baby similis, ..IMG_1563.jpgIMG_1564.jpg
    damn they confuse me!
    opinions please....

    I checked with Houdini. He seems to think it's a sirtalis.

    Most certainly a sirtalis. Similis do not have the contrasting checkering that your little guy does.

    Great, thank you everyone!
    the great side of this is that one of my Florida blues is actually quite blue!
    Wooooohoooooo!
