Is this guy a tigrinus or Jurnese? Please help, I am unsure myself but I am leaning towards Jurnese.
Catfish ID please?

I am tilting towards a tig but the fish appears very stressed. A photo of the calm fish would really help.
+1. Very stressed. How long had he been in the tank?

They are very similar as juveniles, a side shot of the fish might help a little but just the shape of the head has me guessing Juruense but just guessing. Probably the best way to tell the species is how much you paid for it as a tigrinus usually costs 4 times more than a juruense. If the fish is stressed, you might try turning off the bright aquarium lights, at least during the night if not most of the time, provide some shade for the fish, like driftwood, if you need lights for plants. Hopefully the fish is eating well, sometimes they won't eat anything but live foods at first and feed better in darkness..
Deff a tig. Can post pics of mine as a baby for proof.

Juruenese have a very dark tail in every pic at that size. My tig was white like yours. So what did you buy it as?
I didn't buy this fish. This was the photos the guy posted up about his fish. He was selling it as a Tig, and I wanted to be 100% sure before I paid Tig money for a Jurnese. Thanks guys!!!
