A Foxtail? Wodyetia bifurcata?
I got one inexpensively (ok, free) and it has grown well for me, indoors all winter and outdoors when it is above freezing.

I don't think I've heard of any other fishtails sold as houseplants other then c mitis.

Chamaedorea ernesti-augustii are sold as fishtail palms but that isn;t what he has.
(I've had one; couldn't keep it alive.)

Have one of those too, a nice seedling I got as a freebie from Phil at Jungle Music. Has done pretty well in our master bath where I'm sure it enjoys the extra humidity.

Good place for it! I killed mine (same source) setting it outside on east-facing porch. Got the shade it needed, but too hot and dry I suspect.
I see these in the wild and always under deep forest cover.

I'm sure mine will look cool...someday. Horribly slow grower but seems happy.
