I'm not trying to start a problematic thread, but I was thinking about bidding on these zebras up for auction at Aquabid.com but wanted to make sure they weren't bulldog zebras...the noses just looked a little squashed to me, but as you can probably tell I'm new here and need some help identifying characteristics about zebras. Here is the link:

Like I said, I just want honest opinions about the fish only, nothing else. I just want this to be an informative thread. Thanks to anyone who can help me!!!
Are these bulldog zebras possibly???

Having seen plenty of pictures of young zebs on the internet I've quite often seen pics of ones that look like they have bullnose. Often the answer that comes back when I've questioned it is 'yes it does look like it in the picture but it's not'. The angle, water, glass or picture distorts the appearance...how true this is I do not know. I'd imagine in some cases this is a legitimate answer and in others it's not.
Just so you know that seller is a member here also.

Thanks everyone. I realized that this seller is a member here, but I wanted other opinions about the fish so as to eliminate any bias due to the motivation of wanting to sell them at a higher price. That is why I asked for opinions on the fish alone. If I'm going to fork over the money that zebras are now worth then I want to get the true quality of what I'm paying for, and therefore have decided not to participate in this auction due to the possiblity that these might indeed be bullnose. Thanks again to everyone for their opinions.
