I'm pretty certain this is Notopterus notopterus...aka bronze featherback.
An Asian species, so it would be quite strange if it was collected in Nigeria.

Without a doubt.

That's why it would make a lot more sense for it to be papyrocranus afer. Wailon aquatics is based in Nigeria. He catches fish locally.

Hello Friends, it’s a Papyrocranus afer.

That’s the scientific name, we source it locally from small size to as big as 60cm (25inches).

Thanks so much Hao
