i just came from my LFS and the owner got these in this week from Thailand. he was told they are "leopard" catfish.

they are about 3-4" long

I agree. I have never seen an rtcxtsn at that size, but i can definately see the RTC in them. and yes that means 3-4 foot fish that will eat anything it thinks may possibly fit in its mouth lol. If your planning to keep these guys and havent kept them before, do you and the fish a favor and read this link to see what your gettin into lol i looked into keeping one til i read the stickys on them and decided it wasnt for me lol. and theres another sticky about them in the catfish section as well.

thanks for the link. i didn't realize there could be so many crosses. i didn't buy one. he has 6 or 7, if anyone wants one :)
 
No problem. I love both tsn and rtc, i just simply cant have a big enough tank for one in my apartment lol. So i got a LSN instead lol.
 
LSN=Lima Shovel Nose. Ill see if i can get a good pic of mine for you today and post it here. My LSN has been pretty cool so far, great hunter and loves to prowl the tank lookin for food. His only downside so far is that he will only eat live fish so far, but im workin on getting to take worms too.
Heres a pic of him in the other guys tank before i got him. but ill get one of him today.
