It looks like it could be a oddly marked little
you do not often see them with this many lines on them but it is possible...the dorsal looks tall but I could just be a little paranoid of hybridization.
Not all S. angelica have only spots...often they have lines usually in combination with spots, this one is unusual in having many lines, spots and lines can be white or yellow, we may see more like this one as farm raised fish(hormone bred) are turned out.
Hopefully it turns out to be full angelica as it grows out.

I've heard angelica and euptera were being hybridized in Florida, this unfortunately could be the result.

this is a hybrid, it's actually one of the old school hybrids; this is what we can buy over here as "Synodontis zebra"
it is NOT an angelica.
young angelica have spots; even the odd ones with lines have spots.
there will be some lines, but those are few, narrow and not on the fins
the shape is all wrong too.
100% hybrid.

I try to give the benefit of the doubt but Tom, Sid & Richard are right, it will be a hybrid.
