Inf, is there a reason why your Dabola is more green and the stripes are more bold. My dabola looks nothing like your and is greyish looking.

substrate/environment probably have something to do with it, but i feel that genetics probably has a major role here as well. Also, sometimes pattern contrast of a bichir can change with age. Other than that, i don't really know how to answer LOL
 
some of my endlis.

pic 1 - an old pic of my South Volta
pic 2 - unknown origin, should be regular Guinea.

oddball endli from Guinea. about same size as the regular Guinea above, but as you can see, body is narrower than a typical endli. Also looks different from the various Guinea endli we see.

There are just so many variants within species regional variants. Lol! Makes bichir keeping more interesting and makes me wanna push it over 100+. Once I'm done my arowana world comm I'm back to collecting more bichirs.
