| I'm not entirely 100% sure with UK bn IDs as you have access to so many varieties but IMO I'd say they are commons. |

| I'm not sure about the second female, the patterning in the fins does not look right  plus the body appears to be more spotted rather than the blotches, like you can see in the first two. In the last picture she looks like a stressed L182. |

| I think Jim is right. there does seem to be something about the second female. Looks kinda like what we call an orangespot bristlenose down under, all be it a bit stressed. _________________ Doug's Bristlenose eBook - The number one source of Bristlenose information and the most detailed breeding guide avaliable
