Hello everyone, someone is selling these two bichirs as retros. He wants 65$ for both with shipping, is this a good price?. What kind of bichirs are these. Please let me know thanks,

Yes, their Retros. I seen them on aquabid for quite awhile almost bought them, I was kind of leary about them since no one has bought them and he keeps reposting them, week after week. I emailed the guy and he said both are 6".
 
Well I guess I was wrong. Looked at the Poly visual ID thread guess they are Pollis. Its the little bit of green on them that threw me off. So I guess my new "retro" I just picked up today is a Polli too looks just like those :(. Ah well I guess one of these days I will get a real retropinnis.
 
I got 2 Palmas bichirs both over 12" for $15 each! :)
 
Definitely Palmas Polli,

Here's a retro for reference...
