Hi!

I would say no, more likely to be one of those so call splendens which are likely to be new species...

but better wait for Ian to pass by and drop a line to confirm this!!

Cheers

It is not B. britskii, but as Yann says it could be one of the B. splendens types that have turned up in the hobby recently from southwestern Brazil/Bolivia. I know of at least three varieties, which may well prove to be new species.
