No he like to hide a lot so I don't get a lot of chances to take pictures of him.

Welcome to MFK.

Wednesday is right on the ID. He is asking for pics to be polite, I think. It is plain to see that it is a regular TSN, not the hybrid. While small, all TSN babies have that lateral white stripe. The stores rarely care about precise labeling. Too many fish, too little time, too little care, too small a salary, too much indifference, too much ignorance, etc.
