Bichir id? Nile bichi or Lapradei?

Clearly an upper jaw fish, hence not a lap (which is lower jaw). You focused on the stripes too much and neglected the jaw structure.
Okay I wasn’t looking at the stripes but the Finlet shape and the overall head shape. Seems more triangular and lap like to me. But the finlets are less than I expected so you are probably right.
 
Yeah sorry guys for spreading false info. After checking again looks like a Senegal. Should have left it to the experts ?. The main deciding factor is the finlets as there are 8 not 13. Literally contradicted myself in this post. Oops

You got it right the first time. Top jaw is longer than the bottom

oh no way?! I was just about to put them in with my Feeder goldfish tank lol. You’re positive? How can you tell the difference?
Senegal or Lap, they’re still awesome!! I have a sen, endi, Delhezi and weeksii and I like the sen just as much as the others. Sens may have a more vanilla coloring, but they’re the most outgoing in my experience, so I’d say enjoy those sens!!
