I think they are both normal but both BEAUTIFUL! I love the banded looking normals! Good luck feeding them and getting them on track! Sorry you didn't get what you expected!
I love watching Ben's auctions, but the difference there is that those wild types being auctioned occasionally sell for a couple hundred because they are captive hatched brought in from Ghana. Obviously not all of them are from Ghana though, those tend to auction off very cheap.

I cant really take them back, I just hate the fact that I was such a newb that I got taken advantage of. I have done so much research on these guys, and should have looked at the signs, but I really do like them! The problem is that I really wanted to breed them, and now I dont even know if they are females or males, and they are just normals...so not much I can do with them...oh well, like I said, live and learn...hopefully I can get a carmel or better yet, a carmel albino in the future, I LOVE them, definitely my favorite morph!
As long as YOU like them, the price was worth it. Good luck with them both. I think they're great looking normals.
