Sweet pickup! Good luck with them! I really miss my big kitties so i look forward to lots of updates!!!! :) Also I'm on board with a comment on here about the cranium of the marble being slightly turned down in the maxillary region. I have actually owned two different species with this type of deformity a channel catfish and a tsn. Forgive me for sounding morbid, but I am big into doing comparative anatomy, and if (God forbid) this fish should happen to die for any reason could I get you to freeze it and ship it to me? I would pay shipping. Just throwing it out there just in case.

Now that being said I hope that your fish thrives and that unlike my fish the curvature doesn't get any worse. Both of the ones I had with this eventually couldn't eat without help. The problem is that the neurocranium curves down in the front and on the sides while the mandibles(lower jaw) remains relatively normal. Eventually the curvature gets so great that the mandibles are unable to open far enough for food to enter the mouth. Your's looks pretty mild though in comparison to the ones I had. So please post lots of pics during the development of your gorgeous new fish!!!
 
Cliff, you're gonna scare people off, you mad scientist :) :) :)

On a serious note, interesting thoughts. I've had a few duck-bill TSNs, I guess I never have had them long enough to see what you are describing. It sounds understandable though.
