I would have to say TSN. The pattern is just evolving heavily at the moment. For one, the adipose is too small for TSNxRTC or for TSNxLei but right for TSN. For two, the hybrids tend not to have bold spotting in the caudal fin and it is not as deeply forked as in TSN.

The eyes are cloudy and bulging out. I'd suppose there is a health problem with this specimen.

Thanks for the info that is disappointing I am in the market for a hybrid about this size but can't seem to find one ive already purchased it on its way although its pretty dark for a TSN so should make for a interesting fish

Thanks for the clarification. Initially saw it and it looked off and similar to what I believed was the hybrid. Gotta keep looking.

We have one 24"-30" available for adoption. Of course it's too big and we don't ship.

I think it is dark because fish in general try to blend with the substrate and surrounding colors, especially the ambush and stealth predators such as TSN. Hopefully you will make up a thread on it and keep it updated with info and visuals for years to come.

I thought the eyes look weird. pectoral fins look really small for the body size am I right thebiggerthebetter thebiggerthebetter ?
Yes, they look very small. This is either a genetic mutation, which is common in these culls and cheaply raised fish, or the fins have been damaged badly and healed but haven't regrown (yet).

It threw me off too so I had to look at photos to compare the features. I actually thought it could be TSNxLei at first but it is just a TSN.
