Theres 14 classified species i think

Sp. Bichir Bichir, Sp. Koloton, Sp. Kobliba, Sp. Dadola have not been fully classified to my knowledge and may be just color or pattern varients of Lapradei a few have just been named after the area they were cought in

also i'm pretty sure Sp. Katangae and Senegalus Meridionalis have not been classified either as a species
