TSN I'd help

[monsterkeeper87]

I got him at 3-4 inches as a wild caught fasciatum but in another thread I was told it could not be and after a quick google search I say it looks more like a tigrinum... He is around 8-9 inches

8"-9" is too small for a good guess yet IMHO but since he is 1.5 years, maybe we could try. Talking about the common ones - tigrinum, fasciatum, and reticulatum - it looks more like the first one. Punctifer I only saw once or twice. All others, it appears to me they (almost) never enter the trade. If I am wrong, it may resemble orinocoense, metaense, and magdaleniatum.

I think the tigrinum in this comparison chart may be a bit atypical http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?322161-TSN-ID-Chart-Pseudoplatystoma but I enjoy being corrected and learning.

+1! That is one of the nicest TSNs I've ever seen at that size. Not gonna lie, I'm jealous lol.

Unfortunately, Shane gave it away. So we'll not know (not likely) its fate. It was unusual in two ways - very slow growth rate and the yellow coloration.
