That's a Leiarius pictus, not marmoratus traditionally called a marbled pim. Right?
Nice. I've three of 1.5'-2'. Lovely cats.

Honestly im not that sure. Was thinking it was the marmoratus. It was labeled as a perruno tho. :/ it was a relatively short work to get him this big tho:/

You are probably right. I am not used to seeing cats at this angle and was too lazy to rotate my laptop. Marmoratus hit 2' from 3" in one year usually, it seems. The growth to 1' appears to be even faster than that of a "benchmark" RTC, IME.
Id have to agree with the initial growth as compared to most rtcs. This is my second time with a marble and i could attest to thim growing like weed early

It used to be only known as Leiarius marmoratus. But a recent revision of the genus (http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/genus.php?genus_id=92#245) split Leiarius longibarbis from L. marmoratus. As it stands now, we have very little info to tell one from the other so we have been calling all of these marmoratus.
TBH, I have not read the revision but it should state very clearly how the difference manifests itself in external features and how substantial it is.
All this may be immaterial to you as IDK the depth of your inquiry.
