Udon, Soba, and the Noodles

A quick search in the forum gives me this info:
5-7 dorsal finlets Polli, 7-9 Palmas.
How many are up there? I think I count 6 so you're right, I think!

I am used to the Palmas Palmas sort of striped patterns, but I thought that maybe the CB were less like that, or took longer to develop them. This guy is about 4".

Well cool, I'm psyched on Polli actually. I wanted active. Really weird for Wet Spot to mislabel fish though, or that's what I thought at least.

Palmas have line pattens similar to del, palmas are like a combination of del and gold dust.

Polli only have dots similar to that.

That's what I thought, too, with the patterns - I could always ID palmas. But with this one I just thought that there was something different with the CB part or that they were only 4".

This one was the nicest looking and the largest. I hope he keeps the contrast, some Pollis I see get all muddlied looking. Which is fine if he's swimming and out and about, I just prefer contrasted markings.

And yours is not CB, its a WC polli

Wait, I am so confused now. How do you know that?

First off, you were right from the beginning with the fish guess #1.

My aPolligies. (Mwahahaha)

I dont think that there are cb polli being sold, i might be wrong. But all polli ive seen including mine are WC. Get more pictures, if the forehead of the polii is more flat toward the sout instead of being round like what you see in regular cb del and senegal, then its WC.

Just like this

Congrats magpie! Looks healthy. Post some in the tank pics when ready

 

[magpie]

OK well right now he's in the tank with night lights on, I'll wait a bit for pics. Looking at him in the dimness it looks in between the two above.

I wonder if they just got mislabeled. They had a quarantine group of WC pollis for like a month and then they disappeared and the list now says Palmas Palmas WC and CB. I paid $29 for it, which is the CB Palmas Palmas price.

Even WC Pollis are this small?

Huh - well cool!
