another ID my poly thread

[kered]

ive been trying to get a delhezi for a month now and every time my fish guy goes to his suppliers they are out so he brings back a different species...this is his latest...it was labeled a retro...im not that familiar with the retro so i did some quick research and decided to get him...i wasnt quite sure if it was a retro so i spent several hours looking up pics online...ive narrowed it down to 3...either it really is a retro or its a colorful polli or a buettikoferi...in the store its fins were bright yellow like highlighter yellow...hes only been in my tank a day and hes getting some color back but the camera doesnt quite show how yellow his fins are...any ways heres the pics

in the bag

out and about

this is a temp 29 until i can get my 40 breeder thats why its barebottem

Palmas Polli, Here is mine for reference

palmas or a slight chance of buettikoferi(not sure if palmas hav that kind of yellow on its fins)...
i'll put my head out here! plausible buettikoferi!

^ palmas don't have polka dots, mine only have strips.

im a huge palmas polli fan, they get mixed up with retros all the time. i wish my fish store would get in random species of polys, i tried to get a retro like 5 months ago and it never came, their supplier sent them an ornate labeled as a retro ;\

so final word is a polli? its so weird cause doing a search i see other threads with some that look just like this and sometimes the consensus is polli and sometimes its buettikoferi
