I read online that there are 3 species of marbled lungfish. Protopterus aethiopicus aethiopicus, Protopterus aethiopicus congicus, Protopterus aethiopicus mesmaekersi. Which one does TS's falls under ? Can't seem to find any pictures to tell the difference between the 3 species.

From Wikipedia, it states that the 3 subspecies originate from different rivers/parts of the river.
