Congo?

Naaahh, its a CB endli, considering where it from, I wouldn't call it melanistic either. Its only a darker variant of regular endli, halfway down the tail looks deform. Still, need to see a much better pic...

O.O didn't know that there are dark varient of endli. Cool!

there are so many possibilities resulted from captive breeding, either platinum, albino, longfinned, and short body, but its also opening the chance of getting poor genetic born bichirs which affect the body shapes, colors, and patterns.

WOW ,
how long has it been in your tank? do you think the color will remain black?

Hope so, pic was a while ago, still the same color now.
Not holding out much hope though.

That Endli looks dark for sure, but I wouldn't call it Melanistic
