TT: Even that alleged 34" tigrinus is 8" smaller than the TSN I posted.
TBTB: 0.3 x 12" = 3.5". 3.3' = 3' and 3.5". So you are only 5.5" away from eating your shoe haha! How is that for splitting hairs?! ... He says and retreats to continue gnarling on his crow...
TT: Thanks for mentioning Necrocanis, I was going to mention his cats but couldn't remember his username.
TBTB: Yea, we all greatly miss this hybrid catfish nutcase.
TT: WC TSN are circulating around just fine. In fact Jeff Rapps has both P. fasciatum and P. magdaleniatum in stock at the moment, as I suppose you probably know. Certainly rare, but not unheard of amongst MFKrs who tend to specialize in this sort of thing.
TBTB: You are good at this! Man. Yes we as a community know of this. Well, to the best of my knowledge, you have managed to find the only source of w/c TSN in the USA which has certainly good degree of trustworthiness. And Jeff appears to have started offering these only recently. One or two members on here got his fish, reported for a while, and disappeared. Anyhoo, this is recent and we have no reports on these fish anymore. I don't think you will find another such source of w/c TSN in the US. So generalization of any sort is unwarranted. While I am invoking the data for the last 10 years. Let me make an even simpler statement. I allege that no MFK-er raised a single farmed TSN over the last 10 years to 3' or larger. Not one.
There were 2-3 corruscans cases exceeding 3', which were w/c though.
Wesley Wong brought some w/c TSN many years ago too. We know nothing of their fate, it would seem. That's pretty much all I know of w/c TSN in the US. Anyone else knows more??? Speak up.
TT: Also just to mention I stumbled across some photos/vids of your collection earlier on here. Nice stuff. Looks like you have every cat I could think to keep except a lince, unless I missed those.
TBTB: Thanks, bro. Yea, lince has proven to stay elusive for me.
TBTB: BTW, I am a chemist too. Organic chemistry, physical chemistry. Glad to meet a colleague here.
