    First one might be a tort and the second one looks like a Garf purple bonsai.

    Thanks! Is a pearlberry a tort? i remember now after i looked it up that pearlberry was used but it looks to be the wrong color, but it will color up under my light for sure.

    Looks more like a Cali tort or an Oregon tort to me.

    Yea im not sure, the problem is in the picture it looks more blue b/c of my halide but the lighter color is actually like a baby blue and the brownish has a hint of green i have 2 oregon torts and it looks nothing like it, ill see if i can get a macro shot out of my tank quick, its hard b/c of my glass, (dont have a water proof lens yet)
