dang, I sure hope not!! i got one of those polys that look exactly the same that were listed as mokes. Ya, mokes and retros look terriblly alike. For my thought, I think mokes always has the peachy spots on their bodies. If it indeed is a moke, definitely get one cuz they are very rare!! Pleez be a moke!!!! LOLs
Hi.
They look like Retropinnis to me.
They could also be Palmas Polli.
Easiest way to differentiate between those two is the Retros have a ring of dots around the eyes.
As for mistaking Mokes and Retros, you need better training!
The Mokes and Retros look completely different.
Mokes have big thick vertical bars doing the length of the body. Simples!
A side note, What is now "Retropinnis" used to be called "Zaire Green".
What is now "Mokelembembe" were originally called "Retropinnis.

Looks pretty much like my three retros. A bit hard to tell from the video though.
The two species are definitely still confusing to wholesalers, as my three retros were ordered as mokes.
