Catfish ID- and how much?

[mshill90]

There is a guy selling a "leopard/ tiger shovelnose" catfish.

Now, I have a RTSNx, but I have never heard of this kind of catfish..

Thought it was a tigrinus, but I don't think it is..

It's supposedly 11" for $30.

What is it, and is it worth it..

PS- I have plenty of room for these cats.

Its a tiger shovelnose, can grow up to 4' and price is a little high, most people give them away. They can also eat fish nearly their own size

Do their patterns get more elaborate as they get larger? Like this one?

You may be thinking of a tigrinus, much more expensive and nicer looking. TSN's are fairly common.

yeah, can't find them for less than $200 around here. and that's at 3".

How much would you spend on a RTTSNx? I have one I got at 3" for $20.

I'm not quite sure what a RTTSN is?

Red Tail- Tiger Shovel Nose Hybred.

That would be a RTCxTSN, which it is more commonly refered to on here, I have one myself at 3" gt him for $20 at my LFS.

Alright, it looks like just an ordinary Tiger Shovelnose Catfish. 11" for $30 is worth it. 4" is $20 around here.

I have seen it both ways

RTSNx is how I see it a lot, and people know what I mean.
