[jackson palaszewsky]

i just got this guy the other day it was sold to me as a leopard catfish but i’m pretty sure it’s a spotted shovel nose hybrid , anyone have any idea on what it might be?

Looks rtc/ tsn hybrid

ok thanks do those get around the same size as regular rtc’s?

I had leopard catfishes before. They are a TSN/RTC hybrid. Grow the same size as both (3 to 5ft)

Grow the same size as both (3 to 5ft)

i don't think there are any records of them exceding 3 feet. Correct me if i am wrong.

Yes, TSNxRTC. Our 9yo looks about 3.5ft.

4 would be surprising but may be possible with the commonly alleged fasciatum TSN mother? I'd not expect more, unless the TSN mother was a corruscans (not that we could ever know this for sure - the farmers aren't telling).

Well, that's what I've been told at least.
