sometimes bichirs are hard to identify, you should post pics and share with everyone your new joy. 
was it labeled as a palmas?
i went to petco last month and picked up 2 polypterus i think they are senegal but not sure for $2.99, the guy couldent find a label and he thought they looked like a dojo loach so he sold it to me under that

most likely a senegal bichir. they are the most common, but you never know sometimes. post some pics and get a positive ID
