dark-based or crazy-striped lapradei?

[Ornate Bichir]

I'm gonna get a new lapradei tomorrow and 2 caught my eye. Should I get a dark-based lapradei or the crazy-striped one? I heard that lapradei tend to lose their color from dark green to pale green, is it true? If it is, I'm going to get the crazy-striped one and when I'm talking about a lot of bar or stripes. Which one should I get?

Dude post some pics. The crazy stripes you might be talking about is a guinea variant of laparadei. i call the guinea variant the royal lapradei.

Gonna post pics later after I buy the lap home =) Lets hope its a guinea variant as claimed by King-eL. BTW, is 8 stripes considered as a guinea variant? I haven't seen one that has as many as 8 stripes yet.

Number of stripes don't usually counts as it varied on individual.
