amazon tiger cat ever seen one?

[ghost_pit2001]

heres what happened,about 6-7 years ago i went into a lfs
and the were unpacking there shipment i seen this catfish i had to have
i paid a couple hundred for it,,his price list was about 180$. he said it would get huge and were only imported a handful at a time. Well i had it a few years and it grew to about 20ish inches.I suffred from a power outage and he died.Just a few details about him,he was jet black orange tiger stripes,and whiskers that literaly would stick out of the 75g he was in.
Lets fastforward to yesterday i seen a pic. of the marbled cat?,its very similiar but mine had a much diffrent dorsal fin,it resembled that of a redtail and its tail was dark red,Stunning.By chance do you guys think i may have had a hybrid or is there another cat resembleing my description. Thanks in advance

Could have been a hybrid, but its hard to picture. You should look through the catfish media section and if see a similar one.

might be a flash tiger.

Ever take any old pictures of your cat while you had it? Sounds a bit of a looker and has me interested. If it was wild caught then chances are it wasn't a hybrid. How vivid were the colours on it compared to the marbled pim/perruno and how close were the patterns on it to looking like them too? Only reaching 20inches in a few years suggests a smaller spieces of pim. Have you tried going to the pim section on planet catfish and looking at all the pictures there?

If he had any pics he would have posted them.

As said before planetcatfish is your best bet,they have a forum on there too.
