I'm assuming it'll be a collection point and the name will end up being "polypterus endlicheri sp. cotto" or polypterus bichir lapradei sp. cotto" what'll be interesting is seeing if there are any "natural hybrids" there's a few they are selling that look similar to the sp. Dabola. Since sp. Dabola is basically named after the area I'd assume that is any suspected natural crosses are found it'll be known as sp. cotto. Like I said though a lot of this is assumption and what I think. Could turn out completely different. All I know is this adds more "drama" to the sp. fish. I can't wait until some genetic testing is done to see the genes of these sp.
Polypterus Sp. Cotto?

If these are on a Japanese website then does that mean they're on their way to Japan? Or plan on going there depending on money I assume. I know these new or rare fish always can catch a big price over there more than the states. Just curious.
Looks like they're already there. And judging by the price tags, I think you're right. Bicher keeping was all the rage a few years ago. But now it looks like they've got the way of cichla and are old news.
Hopefully new locales/species like these will create some excitement in the bicher game. So hard to get wild caught fish with such a small market for them
Agreed seems like allot of secrecy lol
Is toyin still in the game we exchanged texts over the summer the fish i wanted ended up being the wrong size.
Spoke to jason from aquatic day care and looks like they are taking a break to vacation and deal with moving stores
