Polypterus Sp. Cotto?

[Dr.B]

Came across this fish on this Japanese website I've been trying to contact. Seems to be from a tributary in the Niger river, in Guinea. I myself don't know very much about it right now, but am already trying to get one in my tank.

Amazing. Colors are totally different with some red in it. By the looks of it WC. Must be an excellent addition to the tank

Very unique coloration how long have this specie been discovered?

 

[Dr.B]

No idea. I'd assume a couple weeks at the very least. This place seems to have gotten them in a few days ago.
