Although some may say that the following are individual species, the main school of thought is that they are just different types of Guinea laps due to the difference in headshape, patterns and colour. Currently, there are: 1) Tinkisso Guinea 2) Koliba 3) Koloton 4) 'Sankarani' from the the Sankarani river in Mali, Guinea Hope this helps |

Well Dabola sp. is also from Guinea. However, many think that they are a natural hybrid of the Guinea lap and the Guinea endli. Others say they are a species on their own. This is hard to determine given the lack of resources and study done on them

Just to clarify every of this we referring to in biological term are all fall under the polypterus genus and futher break down into species of :-
Polypterus ansorgii Polypterus bichir - Polypterus bichir bichir - Polypterus bichir katangae - Polypterus bichir lapradei Polypterus delhezi Polypterus endlicheri - Polypterus endlicheri congicus - Polypterus endlicheri endlicheri Polypterus mokelembembe Polypterus ornatipinnis Polypterus palmas - Polypterus palmas buettikoferi - Polypterus palmas palmas - Polypterus palmas polli Polypterus retropinnis Polypterus senegalus - Polypterus senegalus meridionalis - Polypterus senegalus senegalus Polypterus teugelsi Polypterus weeksii Other variant due to sources location, biological (hybrid cross, albino, leusistic) are not being properly classifed and should fall into these classes. Sellers can quote a new variants due to commercial reasons but we hobbyist should know what we are buying, into a breed or just a variants of a breed. A varaints of just reason of rarity (due to reason of WC or remote sources) could cost multiple times. In actual fact we are merely buying the same breed of lap. |
