don't think its blochii because i have one in there he looks a lot different then the blochii that i have and as for the sun cat he is still very shy except him and the blochii are the ones that fight and growl at eachother
I'd say Blochii. There is def. variability, not only geographical but also during various life / size stages.
Def. no albo - albo has regular lines of larger spots.

i thought it was an albo he looks likes the one on the scotcat's fact sheet page
http://www.scotcat.com/factsheets/pimelodus_albofasciatus.html
also he is only about 5.5in.
Good call. One top site (PCF) versus another (ScotCat). I've had a couple of dozen of blochii. Good half looked like that at ~6". When I asked on PCF if they were an albofasiatum, I was shot down. That was early in my fish keeping. I agree with them now.
then its blochii, and this is the first i have seen of this variant also some questions: how and or will this variant effect: adult size, growth, and temperament? because he acts like exact the opposite of the blochii i have
and i apologize for being very torn about this ID
I don't think I recall much difference in any trait between my blochii.
Describe please what behavioral differences you see.
From your photos, the one you call blochii looks closer to albo
but this may be a funny angle. I don't recall ever coming across a single confirmed case of albo. Hence, I doubt we ever see them imported.
Nothing wrong to be torn
