tiger shovelnose ?

 

[C L O W N K N I F E]

Spotted/Porthole Shovelnose Catfish

 

[guanl23]

it's still pretty young, but its looks like it's either pseudoplatystoma tigrinum or pseudoplatystoma fasciatum.
let it grow out some more for a better ID

100% Tiger Shovelnose, as has been mentioned though you will have to wait a while before you will know which sub species it is exactly.

Hope you have a big tank... or at least some big plans for a big tank

 

[livelymc]

was told by shop owner that hes a pseudoplatystoma curuscan

 

[DrownedFishonFire]

Pseudoplatystoma corruscans are easily confused with others when young per the planetcatfish commentary on it but for all of us we all agree its one cool looking Pseudoplatystoma


tho looks like a stunning monsterfish in the making!
