P.e.endlicheri or congicus ?

[fjudors]

hello everyone
I would ask a little help:
I bought them now, and I cannot decide it, a what kind of race they belong to? currently 10-12 centimetre
greet.
excuse me for the quality of the pictures

 

[Cohazard]

P.e. endlicheri

 

[fjudors]

thank you for the certainty.

 

[Nemesis]

Yup definitely P. E.Endlicheri

 

[fjudors]

thank you for the help.
with what I found it nowhere summed up:
what are the differences based on which it is possible to distinguish the two races?
what is a difference excluding all doubts?

 

[Nemesis]

I would say that the difference is that endli's have darker, more distinct black stripe patterns. Most cong's I have seen are lighter in coloration also.

 

[lymiq]

Endlis stripes are typically thicker and running from top to bottom of the body - usually have 4-5 stripes with high contrast.

Congicus stripes are typically thinner and running from top to half the body. Usually have 6-8 stripes with slightly faint contrast.

thx, thx
so it is possible to distinguish them based on the pattern only then?
based on the number of the dorsal fins no?

 

[King-eL]

Congi have 8-10+ stripes and endli have 4-7 stripes both bichirs can have faint or darker stripes as well as thinner or thicker stripes.

Head shape is also different from each other. Juvenile congi have head shape looks very similar to a nigerian lap. It change as it grows and look more massive.
