I don't think that folks would necessarily be able to tell the difference. Look at the Almirante pumilio versus Man Creek pumilio. Those populations are many miles away from one another, but they have been lumped together often.

It is important to keep in mind that these frogs can change significantly over very small distances in some instances and in others, they can be rather constant. My concern is that importers know this. And then you can have this situation with Super Blue Auratus where a select few frogs in the population can be picked out and sold as a different morph when, in reality, they're not.
