short body diagnostic traits?

[BuffaloPolypteridae]

The one LFS near me has a bunch of albino Senegal's that look different.. They're thick as most I've seen but seem to be shorter, maybe semi short body? They don't seem to have as many finlets on the dorsal as normal

From what I've seen in the SB the head and body size proportion is different from a normal one. So the head will usually be bigger on a small body. I have never seen a SB in person and am only going off of what I have heard others say so I am not 100% positive this is a way to detect one, but I wouldn't jump straight to a conclusion that a short fat sen is a SB, because as most of us know there are just some of those polys that all the food in the world is not enough.....
