Here are some pics of a natural wild hybrid I found at www.big-in.jp. They claimed it to be as KOLIBA x ANSORGII hybrid as both fish occur in GUINEA. However they look to me as GUINEA ENDLI X GUINEA LAP hybrid as it look like the one that I have except mine is a experimental captive breed. CB hybrid have some use after all by comparing it to natural hybrid to prevent confusion of being a new species.

i remember seeing that on their website. i'm assuming the claim is based on how the fish looks, which has its merits. But at the same time, I sometimes wonder what's the likelihood that it's a natural hybrid vs. an individual with odd patterning.

Well only way to find out for sure if the fish turns out infertile as most hybrid bichirs are.

Patterns on the head matches up a bit
