Well, I've noticed that PetSmart actually use both terms(Dinosaur Bichir/Dinosaur Eel) for the Senegal's, but It depends on the store. There's 2 stores within 15 miles of me and the both uses different labels. It's kinda weird that they don't have one specified name.

Last week I went to get ghost shrimp and they had 3 "dinosaur Bichirs" in stock. Upon inspection I noticed something very odd. Two of the specimens were Sens as the normally are, but 1 was NOT A SEN!! It looked like a DEL but he was still really small. I'm going back tomorrow to get a another look and some pics. I plan to buy him, he's only like 5 bucks. Pretty great deal for any non SEN.

Anyway they may just label them in a broad name because they don't know they're stuff. Or there Florida supplier doesn't inform them on what he's sending.
 
Like everyone else said, its just a sen. Not sure why they give it that name....it is a prehistoric fish but in my opinion its stupid to rename it that.

dont waste your breathe when it comes to asking a petsmart employee about the fish they have, most of the time they dont even know what they are talking about.

i like petsmart....even though they are dumb most of the time...they also can't count...i have gone several times and gotten multipul fish in 1 bag and the kid at the register rings me out for 1 fish...you just have to find the right idiot of all the idiots...like finding waldo...
 
hahahahah ok so mine is around two inches and when ever he rests he rests on the top of the water is that because he is too light and can not sink or whats going on im a :newbie: when it comes to bichirs
 
it stays at the top for ease of breathing...put some floating plant for it to rest in...when it is bigger it will go to the bottom...
