What makes you say that.. There are dozens of species called "Shovelnose".

Well if it is only 14" after 4 years, I doubt that it is any of the pseudoplatystoma sp. and it seems to small to be a sorubim Lima. I would just assume , with out pics, that it is a sorubim Elongatas do to the fact that they are the most common shovelnose of that size:age.

Sorry, I overlooked the 4 years old part. I agree that it is probably Sorubim sp; but tbh nobody can know for sure right now if Elongatus or Lima.

From what I've seen on true Sorubim Lima is they grow a tad faster. I was just talking to someone on CL who had a sorubim that was 5 years old and 19" long. She showed me pics and sized matched up.
