because most, if not all polys sold as ansorgii at LFS are endli x ansorgii hybrids... only way to get a true ansorgii is to get one WC or i think there are true ansorgii in Japan.

Head shape and markings, and body markings.

Even though its likely a hybrid (and the head shape really lends itself to that) I think this is one of the nicer ones I've seen. The reduced pattern is beautiful.

I agree with you here, I've seen a fair few 'washed out' looking ones. But this one is actually really nice!
Jealous I don't own it myself!
