After several arguments with the fish store guy and my friends I finally wll leave it up to you all. Please ID the two species attached. I believe they are palmas poli and weeksii. Please prove me right!
I tossed in a pic of my Ornate and Senegal watching 24 just for fun. They love that show!

1st pic - Polli
2nd pic - Weeksii, the pic is blurry, but looking at the comparison of the head to the body dictates a weeksii
3rd pic - Polli top and weeksii on the bottom
4th pic - ornate and polli

yea i agree with the person above
 
except the 4th picture its ornate and senegal b/c pollis have more of a flat,long head then senegals
 
oh yea did you get these 2 from Ocean Blue?
 
The last pic is senegal and ornate. I was only neeing to confirm the first two. Thanks to those for confirming it.
I got the palmas and weeksi from Ocean Blue about 6 months ago. He had the palmas poli labeled as bichirbichir, and the weeksi as a congecius. I saw some strange bichir looking things there last week, but they could have been baby aropimas. I didnt ask him and they are gone now.
 
polli and weeksii
 
You are right, Polypterus Palmas Polli and Polypterus Weeksi
