Coronet is such an old word. Had to look it up and it's just a crown.

Lol i dont remember what thread it was since we all have like 5 discussions on the same topic going in multple threads but was reffering to you saying you felt that the differences in congi were more genetic than anything. Maybe i confused it... sid you mean differences in my/our congi were gentic because of whats available to us.

So there are 3 different variants/species that are atleast known of ? Thats pretty cool and interesting.

We need boots in the ground !!!! Who going to africa to take a look at all these rivers and water ways !

Thank you Hao for bringing these up undescribed species that need to be scientifically identity. Especially, the 'sp. aff Congicus' and the 'sp. Onigo' (larger wide head than PBB). There's many videos with PBB with massive heads and looks different than our traditional PBB that we see.

Question - are there photos and videos of a 'sp. Onigo' that some label as a PBB(a nile bichir)?

PBB have this elongated narrow head shape from the top view.




Posting this pic provided by Hao again. PBB on right and 'sp. Onigo' left


Hao Here's one of the most popular searches on the Web on YouTube . It's massive 28 incher and wide everywhere including the head. It's not like what we see. Would this be a certain undescribed specie similar to the bichir bichir complex?

I believe this PBB is the Turkana variant.

Do you still think that video is collected in Lake Turkana?

Tokyogasmask description of his Turkana pbb w/certificate :

'Turkana and Chad look almost identical.
The only difference is the Turkana have a more slender "longer" appearance, and the belly is more cream color. This cream starts closer to the lateral line than Chad. (Chad PBB has more green and markings going toward the underside.'
