In the LFS there are two Polypterus identified as lapradei. I would like to check them with you so I know what to pursue as proper caring for them.

Thanks

these look like wild caught nigerian endlicheri,im 100% sure endli
 
Glad that I read here how common mislabel happens in LFS. I wanted lapradei but I'll study the nigerian endlicheri to decide if i should get them or not. Is there a way to sex this fellows? Do they look healthy to you?

Thanks

wouldnt that depend on the size i know cameras dont show true size those endi could be only 5 inchs big therfore they would appear to be healthy. I know ur fish hao that u show are 14-18 inchs but they dont look that big in the pictures to me not saying ur lieing but camera's to me lie on the size of anything. I am not disagreeing with u either hao being that u are one of the top experts on poly's and me a newbee.
 
i know lol,thanks and those endli look around 8"-10"

Thats why ur the expert and me still a troll looking for information. Shame i am a carpenter to and couldnt size those endli by eye
no worries,when i eyeball in photos im usually 70% correct and eyeball in person 90% correct
