I agree looks like a black devil cat! Nice pick - up! One of the few cats I have never had the pleasure of owning. Hopefully someone who has one will give you their results!
def a wyckii...I used to have a big one and eventually sold it to a friend who still has him in a 240 alone....they are very mean and very territorial....my big guy snagged me several times while having my hands in the tank...even when kept with tankmates too big to eat,,they will thrash them untill they die...apart from the aggression they are awesome cats and when large look even better!! excellent pick up.
here are some pics of mine from june of last year:
