Can someone make an english version of this?

I've seen this chart differentiating species of bichirs. I think it would be helpful for individuals like me who are beginners and are only familiar with a few types of bichir and are interested in others.

I wouldn't entirely rely on a chart like this. It's missing a few species and is most likely out of date. But without using translations the identifications are as follows:
Top Left column-Top right column
Rope fish- Palmas polli
Ansorgii- Mokelembembe
Delhezi- Palmas Buettikoferi
Endlicheri- Palmas Palmas
Congicus- Senegal
Ornate- Senegal (which I assume they are going to call the meridonalis)
-Weeksii

Judging by the lack of Polypterus Teugelsi, and Polypterus retropinnis I'd guess this is a Pre-2005 or so chart. It's also missing lapradei, and PBB. If you're trying to try and improve your identification skills I'd suggest going through old collection update or threads with people showing pics of their fish. It's a great way to see that species while similar, can still look very different.
