I don't think it's a pure-bred ocellifer. It doesn't have the barring on the tail. It might be an ocellifer hybrid, though.

The ocellifer is a very variable species: light or dark, some with no spots at all!

I think Chrysichthys has a strong point - there is a bend in the dorsal spine, poor barring in the caudal fin, a shoulder hump, these things point to a "poor quality fish" ie lots of poor quality commercial breeding or elements of hybridisation somewhere in the ancestry

They'll probably say the wholesaler or just say it's african - finding this sort of info can be frustratingly difficult
