i recently purchased an awesome catfish at my lfs and cannot figure out what it is. it was marked as a tiger catfish but i already knew that was not true but i could not pass the fish up and didnt ask questions. im not at home so i have no picture but the description follows

medium brown colored with dark brown stripes
the strpes are not vertical or horizontal they are more swirled
the body shape is that of a RTC and the nose is not shoveled like my shovelnose

please help if you can and if anyone has a picture please post!!

Red Tail-Tiger Shovel Cross maybe?
AKA-TSNxRTC
 
i was thinking that might be it, but it doesnt seem to resemble either of those significantly enough to be that, i will try to get a photo up asap
 
Description sounds like a hybrid.
I think were going to have to wait for pics
 
ok i have a couple pictures they are very low quality but its the best i can do the fist pic is the one i need an id, the second is my baby shovelnose
