Looks like a melanistic/piebald rtc..very nice find. This is a first ive seen in a rtc but it makes sense. Im a big fan of color morph specimen, especially large cats :)

I was looking at the shape of the fish if it could also be a hybrid of some sort or something:/

Haven't bought it yet tho:))

Head shape looks normal to me for the species, as well as what bits of coloration are coming through like the head spotting. The wiskers r worn down/cut so that could throw off the head shape a bit, but i dont think its a hybrid. Just melanistic/pied. The black fins throw off shape, but its just colors playing tricks on ur mind imo lol...id buy it for normal rtc prices maybe a bit more to be nice haha...

Are any more pics available before purchace? The tail looks odd to me but i suspect its worn down as are the wiskers.
