@gbif I'm hoping you can communicate in English. Is this picture of an actual extant fish, fossil fish, or just an imaginary fish? If it is real, what (and where) is it?? Binomial species name would be preferred. Thanks

@kent_j It's an elephant fish - Campylomormyrus mirus (Boulenger 1898).

@gbif
Thank you for your reply. I hadn't seen anything like it and is is, of course (not being from the Congo region), one of the more bizarre looking fish I've seen.
