Can you explain where you got it from first? Is it WC, bought from a dealer? Etc.

Possibly a Ceratogyrus darling juvie, or something from the Ceratogyrus genus. How big is it?

Looks African, did you collect this or buy it?

I got it from a friend. But it is not WC.
It is still a sling

I had a look now, it is either between a C. meridionalis or a C. pillansi.
But i'm not completly sure. Probably have to wait till it's a bit bigger to confirm!

How can you even be sure its a Ceratogyrus in the first place? Never mind the two mentioned species.

You are right. I am not sure it is a Ceratogyrus. Those two species almost looked like mine but also not 100%.
At this stage it can be anything.
All that I know is that it is burrowing like crazy!!

Its a Brachionopus species, and probably un-named at the moment. These are super common in South Africa. And it is probably close to adulthood. These max out at around 6cm
