I.D catfish

Looks like a TSN x RTC hybrid. In the UK these are sold under the name "Leopard cat" in the north. Trade price for a 2" individual is £2.73 about $5.50. One of the worst possible hybrids to grace the hobby IMHO. They were originally developed for the food market.
I could really do with a side on shot and a better look at the tail as the pattern varies quite a bit with these, before being 100% positive. Saying that I know RTC's have been crossed with other species and this experimentation is still going on. Has anyone seen any of the RTC x Pangasius hybrids? Ugly in the extreme!

i dont see any resemblance to an tsn but i see possiblility that there is rtc just wondering where the spots are.

The head and tail are RTC. Some "leopard cats" (TRADE NAME, NOTHING MORE!!!) look more RTC than TSN, though the majority we see over here in the UK look more TSN than RTC. The spotted white underside suggests TSN, but we could really do with a flash free, square pic for a better look.
