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...

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
