Amazon RTC and tiger shovelnose hybrid or spotted shovelnose ?

[ILOVESHARKS]

Need identification to this long whiskered catfish, my fish shop called it leopard catfish, dunno it is a spotted shovelnose or a amzon rtc + tiger shovelnose hybrid

 

[Rtc/tsn]

That’s a red tail tiger shovel nose

Thanks !

 

[Rtc/tsn]

Thanks !

The ones in the back look like regular rtc too. Leopard catfish I would image refer to an Achara cat

 

[ILOVESHARKS]

correct !

Yes rtcxtsn cross and not leopard (acharaxtsn)

In SE Asia the TSNxRTC hybrid is usually marketed as "leopard catfish". IDK under what name the TSNxAchara is marketed there. In the US the usual seems "spotted shovelnose".

Apologies, you are correct Victor.
I know leopard as acharaxtsn but it appears these are known as spotted cats.
Acharaxrtc are marble cats
Leopard are rtcxtsn despite the prominent lack of spots over most of the fish. ?
