Mokelembembe or Polli

[Lotsoffishandthings]

This was ordered into LFS as Mokelembembe but I’m 95% sure it’s polli. Only thing throwing me off is the elongate nature- the length to girth ratio is far higher than the other p. Polli I’ve got.

The dark spot on the dorsal fine is also fairly light but this could just be the colour washed out from shipping.

100% polypterus polli.

Great, thanks for confirming. Seems a lot of polys imported as one thing are actually just Polli. Seen a few that were listed as palmas or retropinnis but this is first one I’ve seen listed as Mokelembembe. Shame as I would really like to pick one up as they’re pretty hard to get here in the uk.
