Sure, Id like to see it.

Yeah I know I have a TSN, I just wonder the species now. I didnt know there where different kinds like that.
 
yup, and there's catfish that are considered shovelnose in many different countries outside the family pimelodidae, but it probably has the largest number of shovelnosed catfish.
