Hi all just a quick Question, last auction I bought a bag of 5 orange spot bristlenoses:

 

1 I have read that the sexing of them is different to common B/N?

 

2 also does the male  grow massive bristles on the nose like commons?

 

any advice is appreciated thankyou in advance

The males should get bristles same as commons and peps, so as far as I'm aware sexing should be the same as with commons
