Faranah is a collection point, I have seen laps, endlis and maybe a dabola from there. Look at Nids pics on here, his faranah lap is so nice!

Scientists have yet to determine 100% if they are locale variants of lapradei, endli, natural hybrid (dabola), or new species.

For now, they are referred to as "sp." to reflect that.

I thought laps were a subspecies of P. bichir
 
Youre right, so these fish could be either a new sub species, or a locale variation of either pbb, or p.b.lapradei.

Im at work i cant cross check population collection points to determine which is more likely, I'm sure someone around here knows.
