Aquatic Collection has Chrysogasters!

People should be careful before unloading their wallets and potentially paying for shipping in addition to clowns. NY Aquatic listed a bunch of clowns for sale as Chrysogasters. See video below. I thought they were Latifasciatus but it was brought to my attention by a RC clownfish pro (Ron Popeil) that those are Allardi clowns.
So the clowns that AC listed as African Chrysogasters could actually be African Allardi clowns.

I'm pretty sure these are Chrysogasters.

I'm pretty sure they are juvenile A. allardi, collected in Kenya. A. chrysogaster has a dark tail rimmed in white and a third stripe. Juvi allardi have a third stripe that goes away and tails that start out as yellow, but turn white. The Kenyan suppliers always list chrysogaster on their wholesale list, but allardi is always what show up. Picture below is one of my A. chrysogaster collected in Mauritius (purchased from Pacific Island Aquatics).
