I'm unsure about my ficus, a Ginseng or Tbark

I purchased this Bonsai at a local Walmart... tag just said "Bonsai"
After viewing many pictures, I kinda leaned towards a Ficus- Ginseng or a Tigerbark. I hope someone can help with identification. Thanks

It is not a ginseng ficus, which have the bulbous roots at the bottom:

But I don't know what it is. There are a whole bunch of different ficuses.

As already posted, it's not a Ginseng Ficus, but I do believe that it IS a Ficus of some type. There are quite a few, but luckily they all pretty much require the same type of care. Indoor plant, decent light, basic watering & feeding (as in not too much; not too little).
