I bought a palmas polli that turned out to be a retro from a store called Aquatic Daycare in Oregon. I believe he still has some (4-5 inches); he's selling a bulk lot of them on aquabid and the individuals were $30 (or 3 for $60) plus shipping. I never did tell him about the mislabel because I couldn't figure out a non-awkward way to do it :(

haha that's a steal then at 30$, everywhere I've seen em they've been 60 or more but large, are they young ones? I need something of substantial size my ten inch ornate won't eat. he already ate a 4 in senegal. (aquascape told me it would be six inches, I opened the box and it was 8 in. before I could figure out different housing for him he was eaten.)

and the difference in thickness between a 6 in ornate and an 8 is pretty big, a 6 would have been fine with my 4 in senegal but aquascape got me on that one. lesson learned. don't trust the labels on the internet unless its reputable like JA. and keep a spare tank running or know someone who has a tank it could grow out in a lil more and come back to your tank. ill never order from aquascape again. a week or 2 after my order they changed the sizes on the site to 8 in.

He said they were 4-5.5 inches. I don't think it would stand a chance against your ornate :( Mine is around 5 inches but they seem so slim. It's as thick as my 3.5 inch delhezi.
 
You have to be careful with JA. Sometimes they throw extra fish in your order. :drool: It has happened to me on two orders. Surely it has nothing to do with the size of my orders?
 
I wouldn't mind that long as it wouldn't kill my other fish and my other fish wouldn't kill it haha
