Can you guys help me ID'ing these guys ?

I am almost 80% positive the one of them is a guinea (one closest to the camera), but the other one with dark stomach puzzled me..

Both have 11 dorsal finlets

I think he already knows they're endli's, I'm guessing he's asking "which variant?". Stan, as with all the species of bichirs there is a wide range of coloration! They vary by location! If I had to hazzard a guess, I would agree the one in the foreground would be "guinea", and the one with the darker belly as "volta".
 
agree with hapdude
 
yeah, I knew they are endlies already...I am not that bad..

I was merely wondering about the guy in the background...my guess was volta either but I wasn't so sure..(the darker belly was the hint, BUT the darker coloration threw me off, all the voltas I have seen have much lighter color)

How many Endlies variants are out there ?

Guinea
Nigerian
Tinkisso
Volta
Lake Chad ?

anything else ?
 
the one in the background doesn't look Volta. If i have to pick one, i'd say guinea.
 
That has to be the first guinea with dark stomach pattern versus all white..maybe a coincidence ?
