Thank you for that link! Im curious now though, why are some of them "bushy nose" and some of them not? If anyone knows that one let me know haha... Mine looks like the non-bushy variety... Thanks

They only get the bristles(bushyness) when they grow. Some females will have few bristles, I have seen some without any. Males will be heavily bristled. From the looks of the image posted (and based upon your comment, that one isn't yours?) it is way to young to have bristles. I have some super long fins that are 2" standard length (about 4" with the fins) and none have bristles, but when I look with a magnifying glass, I can see where some are starting to show on the largest of the 3.
