mormyrid id needed

[messiner]

OK so the lfs i work at just got in a "dolphin". it looks loke an elephant nose and a baby whale so im 90% sure it is in the mormyrid family. it is about 7 or 8 inches long and is grey in coloring. it is not shy at all and takes bloodworms from my fingers. we are asking 45$ for it so we payed alot for it wholesale. closest thing i could come to it is http://www.umich.edu/~bio440/fieldtrips98/MORMYRID.JPG
any ideas my fellow fish heads?

also its dorsal fin extends the length of his body from his head to his tail

sounds like you're describing my beautiful fish. Its either a M. kunnume or a M. rume proboscirostris. I've never seen a live one before when I saw one in our local lfs selling just one specimen. Didn't think twice and just bought him right there and then. A very beautiful and interesting fish with a great personality to booth, not a shy type at all. Still enjoy him a lot. here is a recent pic.
