Try to take the head shot side view. Is this particular bichir a captive breed...? If so, then it's a possible hybrid. If it's wild caught then that is something else.

It could be, the head is Lapradei for sure, the 16 fin lets is very uncommon for Laps.

I've seen a couple of Nigerian Lap with 16 finlets with our wild caught shipment back in 2009. It's that weird patterns that got me thinking of something else. Yes do aggree that it's uncommon for laps to have 16 finlets even 15 is also uncommon. Mostly 13-14.
can somebody please explain to me what is all that short form like PBB and others?
where i can read all about this short forms?

I knew from the start of this thread the picture looked familiar.
Now I know why.
I am pretty sure that Bichir comes from a farm here in Japan.
I saw many of them being sold as PBB for real cheap during the summer at a few inches long.
I came close to buying some as they were so cheap, but they didn't look like all the other PBB that I had on my list to possibly buy.
The owners of a place called "Aqua Art" here were selling loads of them and as I know them well told me they were Hybrids of Lap x CB PBB.
They were cheap, but not as cheap as Good pure Lapradei, so I skipped them.
They looked bang on like that fish.
