2 of the bichirs in the senegal tank at petsmart looked like this. Very little, but they have stripes like a lap. They look like a senegal (jaw and face wise), but they have nice horizontal stripes going down the length of the body.
I picked them both up to grow them out, just to see what they look like as they get older. Sorry for the cell phone pic. It doesn't pick up contrast on the fish very well.
Pretty neat.

Yeah I though they might lose them.. but idk bought them anyhow. I knew they were senegal, but it is a wierd petsmart stuff comes in all the time random. I found a white plat senegal, and an ornate bichir in that tank. Figured why not a striped one. lol
 
I've never heard of a Petsmart getting an ornate in with a senegal shipment... maybe a hobbyist turned it in to them.

its funny how that happens at times that they get an oddball in their shipments. My local store had gotten a beautiful long fin veil finned tiger oscar with their regulars. It would been a steal for the $7.99 price. Poor thing was in the tank for almost a month. I dont think anyone knew what to make of it.
 
Funniest was a hapala barb in with the clown barbs. He was eating feeders..hahaha I only saw one ornate in petsmart it was just a baby. Found a plat which was my best find by far. I always see synos miss named that you can pick up.
