I've been told this is a tigrinus catfish but need to make sure before I buy.
Thanks

It is beyond any shadow of a doubt. And good-looking one at that.

Ok just had to make sure as I thought that had more stripe than spotting ?

Agreed nice tigrinis. Looks to be eating well too.

The spots turn in to stripes as they grow if I'm not mistaken

Yep, mine friend bought 7cm (3 inch) tigrinus, now 12cm (5 inch). It grows fast.

This. Plus they have no stripes or spots at all when even smaller:
