Which shovelnose is this, P. fasciatum or P. tigrinum?
Here are some pics, sorry for the low quality they were taken on my mobile.






Thanks
 
Do you have a species name, rather than just TSN? as I know its of the family Pseudoplatystom.

Pseudoplatystoma tigrinum is the same family which I gather is what you are calling a tig... it does look like the pics on PCF.

As for P. fasciatum I dont think it is this species, as their marking are more vertical than those on my specimen.

I'm guessing ita not a great species as I only paid £16 for it.
 
Hey Jack,

Yeah I got it from Pier, nice place, just had to remove a fish louce form the blackmoore that I bought the GF.

As for a big tank, I have plans for a nice big tropical pond in 12months, it should be ok in the current setup intil then.

Ive not seen it eat yet, but I'm sure it will in a day or two.

Jack are those your peacocks in the avatar? they got big. I wanted some of them but they didnt have any :(

I also got a few tinfoil barbs.Looks like the 120gal is now gonna be used as a grow out tank for the pond :)
