Zaric has a really nice jurunense he posted a pic in another thread. It is considered a false tigrinum, in my opinion a very nice looking fish, the face gets a golden color. What you may have been looking for is a Brachyplatystoma tigrinum which has lighter color more distinctive stripes. The later is far more expensive than the former, being sold for upwards of 300 bucks, check out on some of the fish bidding sites and you'll get an idea of what they go for. Hope that helps.
damn this comes up alll the time
TIGRINUS
JURUENSE
Tigs have more contrast and a flatter head....
