[Dreamsofpeace54]

wanted to make sure ive got the right ones, the palmas complex has always confused me. also thoughts on the "ansorgii".

Palmas Polli?


Palmas Buettikoferi?


Ansorgii, do you think its a hybrid endli/ansorg or no?

No problem.
There are plenty of Palmas palmas floating around here in Asia right now quite cheap too.

Here in Japan we recognize 2 types of Buetti.
The original type with the thin black diagonal bands (like yous seem to have) and the "golden" Buetti which has less bands, and very yellow fins and gold speckles.

Palmas Palmas sold here look very alike, but the banding is much thicker.

Nice fish mate!
