It's a Reticulated knifefish (Papyrocranus afer). I think you can ask Toyin if he got some.

Royal Knives usually refer to Chitala Blanci which is an Asian species.

However, there are 2 species of Papycronus, P. Afer and P. Congoensis. These species have also be referred to as "Royal African Knife" or "Spotted African Knife" and "Recticulate Knife"

And there has not been any hybridization between African and Asian species nor is it possible.
