Anyone have a picture of a juvenile full rostratum up close? like a 2" specimen? Copps?

Im in the process of buying one and want to compare scopas vs hybrids vs full blacks at that size if anyone can really help. And in tank pics are difficult to distinguish the defining characteristics like the stripes or the whitening above the dorsal. I want to make sure I get a full black as im not really interested in the hybrids but instead like the awkward uniqueness of the full rostratums.

Thanks guys!

I hate to break it to everyone, but my black tang has the blue line along the upper fin. Not so sure mine is/was actually a hybrid. Cheers to a old thread!

Your black tang was is in my eyes a full black tang, or at least as black tang as one can get in these days...as long as they have the long nose...and the blue line confirms it, I have never seen a scopas hybrid, with it..

I had one a decade ago, was with me for 5 years, cost to me back then was 500 bones , I wonder how much they go for now...

My first Black tang was with me for 12 years and cost me 50 bucks. That was purchased in 1994. My newer BT is 4 years old now and cost me 550.
