I think you were right, Cooper has gradually become more and more fulica like - it's a shame, but he's still very pretty  This pic I've brightened up a bit too much - the pale part of the shell is accurate, but his body colour is normal fulica coloured, not this pale:  His pretty shell again:  Sam the fulica, I swear you could watch him grow, he's doing it that fast!  Cooper (back) and Sam (front) - you can see how similar they are now (although Cooper is slightly more mahogany than Sam - ie. redder brown):  And finally, Sam says hello:  |

Personally I don't think that is a fulica actually. Sorry to confuse you even more lol. The shell is very umm ohh whats the word, the biggest whorl is fat and round. Also the patterning, they arent clear cut stripes, more blotchy stripes. He is very pretty though your right  Nat  |

And some piccies of my dimidiatas, Gary (biggest) and Sally:    You wouldn't think they were from the same batch, would you, considering their size difference! |

Wow! That is a bit of a difference lol *Blinks* Strange, my two are growing at the same rate.
That's amazing how different they are.
Lovely pics. I also think Cooper is pretty whatever he is lol. And Sam is lovely.
Lol @ Whoojeewotsit

They were different sizes when they came - Sally was the freebie - we didn't even order her, Virginia had an offer on (buy two get one free), but we only ordered two, and just as I was about to chuck away the contents of the tub they arrived in (my Gary and Kathy's Justin), I noticed this little one in there! She's not as brightly coloured either, although definitely the same type - just wishy washy.
