Are these Ambastaia nigrolineata or sidthimunki?

Post by mellor21 »

I just picked these guys up yesterday (sold as sids) and was reading their caresheet (for probably the fifth time...) when I noticed the related article about nigrolineatas. I'm pretty sure these guys are sids, but can you guys verify that for me?

Also, has there been any more news from that person who spawned these guys back in 2008?
