Catfish ID

I bought a catfish today. It was marked as Leiarius Marmorstus but by the looks of it they got the name wrong.

Head shape indicates otherwise... I have kept TSN before.

After a more thorough search I'm leaning towards Leiarius x Pseudoplatystoma species.

Leiarius x tsn I'm thinking.

I'm not sure, the head and body shape looks TSN. I'm not seeing leiarius in it

Bingo! http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=4430 those are my cats and Chris the Aquacuture's cats.

TSN is a mother species, just like with the more common TSNxRTC. So, not surprisingly, the fish looks more like the TSN.

Yours is younger. The big dramatic spots will disappear unfortunately by 1'-1.5'.
