if its a lap it a new guinea lap but im no expert..how much did you pay...if you get a side shot it easier to tell by how the pattern is if your really want to know hit up julian270 he is the king of bichir has 2 pbb and a new guinea lap and could tell you easily either way nice bichir. on second thought im pretty sure it a lap not pbb now if you look at the pattern showing on the sides of in your pic. not a positive id.
Hi.
Nigerian Lapradei - Captive Bred.
Guinea Endlicheri - Possibly wild.
Captive bred Endlicheri.
I have owned over a dozen PBB from WC Turkana, WC Chad, CB Turkana and CB Chad, and can garuantee you right now it is no PBB!

thank you for the id , i figured it was a lap from my online research but figured i would ask the experts of this forum
i got a good deal from a friend i believe they told me it was bought for 50.00. originally sold to them as a nile bichir
I see a WC Nigerian Lap, instead of CB. I agree with you on one WC Endli (not sure which area) and one CB.
I have to say the Lap is CB IMO.
You don't see many WC that size, and it looks like it could be a brother to my CB Nig. Lap!
@MichaelMan, yes the big one is WC for sure, the smaller one could be, but the markings lead me to think it is CB.

I've seen many WC Nigerian Laps available here at 8"-10". I've kept CB Nigerian Lapradei and WC Nigerian Lapradei. Headshape,contrast shows me it's a WC. CB Lapradeis ime have bad genes(not that great contrast), at least the ones imported into North America. Also CB Lapradei's in N.America, I've seen don't have flat heads, it's more blunt. Just my observation.
Like TGM said, the bigger one looks WC.
If you're really are in Vancouver, Canada then yes those are WC Nigerian Lap. No CB laps here in BC as LFS don't order CB bichirs anymore as they do not sell. The endli on left is a Tikinsso Guinea endli and the other one is thailand breed endli. How do I know. Those bichirs were probably one of my orders from way back that spread across BC. I've seen some of them grew to 25" and some stayed at 8-16-18" inches even they were the same order. Different people that took care of them have different care and many stayed around 16-18 inches. Rarely seen them pass 19" on other people's tank.
I brought in WC nigerian laps from 3"-19" back in 2008.
