What Species Shovel Nose is this? (Pic)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yeah, unfortunately I can't get find any decent pics of these guys without paying money for the revision document...

I think that's what it is, since it the pattern does not reticulate. I can't see the pectoral fins though, so.
 
one of the species of tiger shovel nose they can be very difficult to tell apart just by looking at the pattern

yeah...

definitly not a:

fasciatum
tigrinum
corroscuns
or a reticulata.

i think it's a mag, but not way to tell without examining the skeleton.

Knowing where it was caught could help to. I havent made it all the way through the Pseudoplatystoma revision, but many of the different sp. the divided up were found in somewhat specific regions.
