but either way, you got yourself a good fish. if i had a large enough tank i'd bypass the standard endli and go with lap instead :)
good news for you :) both get to about same size, but ime and others ive read, lapradei grow quite a bit slower...
 
without a doubt lapradei, if you look in my "pics of my new pickups" thread, the second pic is a congicus,
 
the 5th and 8th one look like yours, and those are lapradei
 
nice lapradei at an excellent price... i would buy them all day for $24 :)
my LFS mislabels them congicus too even after i tell them they are not :(

p.s. my avatar has a pic of a congicus

Even under stress, Congi's have noticeably contrasting stripes, which sort of resemble lighting bolts.

Lapradei turn almost a solid pale olive to cream/silver color.


Yours are deffinitely lapradei as already stated, but laps are one of my favorite poly's, you'll really enjoy them.

Their characteristic long tail fins are really nice looking when they feel like swimming around.

Geez... $24 for bichirs that size is a friggin steal! :D
