Bichir id?

I got him today and he was labeled as an ornate bichir but after someone pointed out to me it didn't look like 1 and after searching google images I agree but what is it? I am hoping its 1 that grows big because its a tank mate for my tiger shovel nose cat.

So far I'm getting "endi bichir".


https://www.google.com/search?q=endi...20&bih=416#p=0

Ok (edit) I found this:

Pretty bichir! I had never known about this kind. I've got a polypterus Delhezi. Love eels.

Thanks for the replies, I can't decide what 1 it looks more like! They look so similar, the bottom jaw on mine slightly protrudes the front, does that make a difference?
