Went to buy a 2nd Juruense catfish today for another tank, and got a cool deal for ¥3000 ($30?). My other Juruense at the same size cost me nearly twice that!

Anyhow, I chose the one that had different patterning to the others as thought it might grow to look different to my other one.

Now I have it home in the tank, it doesn't look like a Juruense at all. (The tank in the LFS had not switched it's lights on, and now I wish I would have asked them to!!)

I am thinking it looks a little like my old Tiger Shovelnose I had a while back.
If this is the case, I don't really want another TSN and I can take it back.

Just wanted some opinions form you cat experts.

Cheers in advance.

Here is a pic taken about 2 mins after put into the tank:

Well the guys over at planet catfish have confirmed it NOT to be a Juruense, but a Brachyplatystoma Tigrinum.

So a nice little number!
