I'm trying to complete my lower jaw bichir collection with a nice congicus (btw: lmk if you have one for sale or trade).

I already have one or more of the following:

nigerian lapradei
dabola
koliba
koloton
bichir bichir
ansorgii
chad river endli

Other than the congicus, are there others that I am missing?
 
You are missing a lot more. I don't think none of the members here have a complete bichirs collection if we are talking about regional variants. As for the species many members here have a complete set of polypteridae.

As for the Chad endli, none are being exported now as they are now being caught in Nigeria and labeled as Chad endli. Both are just the same as they migrate.

So what would you say I'm missing?

Regarding the chad endli's, the two older ones are from 15 yrs ago and other is one I bought in Japan 9 yrs ago and hand carried back....they are the real deal, but I don't know what's going on with ones that people are selling now.

It will be too much to write down what you are missing. Example would be. Nigerian ansorgii, volta ansorgii, tikinsso guinea ansorgii and probably many more ansorgii in other location. Same with the lapradei. Guinea, tikinso guinea, sankarani and many more. Just too much to list.

As for the Chad endli. If they get caught either chad location or nigeria they are just the same variant as the fish will travel from chad to nigeria or vise versa. Same as guinea and sankarani as well as other connecting body of water.
 
I already have a dozen bichirs so I think once I get the congicus I'll be done for a while.

Lots of other cool fish to collect...honestly, these bichirs are all pretty similar in appearance and a big pile of them can get a bit dull.
