Bichir id? Nile bichi or Lapradei?

[Jjiang00]

Hi! Just saw these bichirs listed as senegals for $6 and am pretty sure they arent senegals. What are they?

They look lapradei to me but the upper jaw seems more pronounced than the lower jaw? Any id would be helpful thanks!

Most likely lapradei in my opinion Hao ? Thoughts?

Captive bred laps. That’s a great deal lol. May I ask where you are located?

Sacramento exotic aquarium, I took the last two lol. But there’s still some senegals in there if you wanna go check

They look like Senegal’s to me now... still a bit conflicted but the finlets are less than that if a lap

Could you send more pics to verify? I’m counting the finlets and seems like these are captive bred Senegal’s. Still a great deal regardless!

if you can get full bodied picks of the finlets would be the determining factor. Laps have 13 finlets and senegals have around 8-10 (If i recall properly)
