The palmas is actually a palmas polli it's part of the palmas complex made up of the palmas palmas, palmas polli, and palmas buettikoferi

The ornates both look male the endli looks male I am on the phone so can't see them very well so I could be wrong when I am on the computer I will try and get a better look

Well I watched the video and I'd have to say both ornates are female, delhezi is female, palmas polli is female, and endlicheri is male. The scientific names are pretty much the same name that we use as the common name, but with polypterus in the front. So polypterus ornatapinnis, polypterus delhezi, polypterus palmas polli, and polypterus endlicheri endlicheri. As far as WC/CB I'd say that the palmas polli is most likely WC the others I am not sure I'd need a little back ground info like who did you get them from and at what sizes, but even then you can't be 100% sure.

+1 to all of that.

Yes, I see it is not a senegal, but infact a very nice poli

Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated.

That Palmas was bout from Wildwoods about 2.5 years ago. He was about 6" then and is now probably about 9.

yeah the palmas polli is most likely WC, but I'm talking about more background info for pretty much everyone else
