It's a delhezi polypletus aka barred bichir. He's young in that picture and should tripple in size.
Odd fish for tank?

Should be no issue for a couple in a 75 they generally just perch on a spot looking cool. I paid 19.99cad for that guy but they are generally twice that.
I gotta try to find some around north jersey. Idt either of the lfs i go to have them
Shouldn't be to hard to track one down especially the senegal variety. If not they make a great candidate to be shipped considering how hardy they are.
They can live decades so be prepared to take care of them for awhile. The only real caveat to owning one is that they can't go on regular aquarium gravel, they need sand or bigger rocks due to the way they eat by just inhaling stuff whole. Good chance of him inhaling a piece of gravel and choking.
