In a 1700 pond atm so this is the best i can do for now lol...my 22-24" tigrinum. He did not get this adult pattern until 20"-22". He looked quite similiar to a p. Faciatum from 8-18". Ill have to dig up some old pics of him, there somewhere in my albums from yrs. Ago.

Not my pics but these show the pattern and head shape well...juvies as pictured above actually have a "lack there of" of pattern for most of their life until they really start putting on some size over 18". Even in the juvi stage the head shape is a dead giveaway.

I was assuming the fish in the OP was fully grown. My bad. Should have asked first.

I'm learning too from Wednesday, he is Mr. TSN.
