Anyone ever seen one of these in real life? I found this pic of it, but can't find others. It was labeled lima x tsn, but obviously it's lima x blochii. I've owned a tsn x blochii, and the pattern was similar, but the head and body shape were way different. Look at that head it screams lima.

p.s. this is the first lima hybrid I've ever seen.
 
here's a pic of my old tsn x blochii for comparison.

The fins and stuff look different to me. The first pic when I look at my limas seems so similar. Who knows though I have a really active imagination.
 
I fail to see, Necro, where you see Lima in that head...looks Pictus to me, sorry. But I will defer to your greater knowledge on things cat....

I was refering to the overbite, and when I look at that and adult limas 18"+ the body shape, and pattern is way similar. I'm not 100% on the ID I just like to get people thinking and debating. I was struck by the sight of it when I found the pic. It reminded me of my TSN x Blochii, but the head and body were different.
 
and the position of the eye too looks a little different
