Pseudoplatystoma corruscans


Is image 8 a very large, particularly stocky, blunt headed individual or does anyone see something of a hybrid in it? Interested in opinions

The headshape looks wrong to me & although very large pseudolatystoma can get "chunky" they are still more streamlined than this individual
Lou: Every young man's fantasy is to have a three-way.
Jacob: Yeah not with another fu**!ng guy!
Lou: It's still a three-way!

It looks like it could simply be the angle, no?

It does not look like any of the hybrids I've seen, keeping in mind IDK its size. If it is 4'-5', I'd say IDK if it is a hybrid or not.

I "know" the fish in question and it was a wild import from SA and is now residing in a Danish public aquarium - pretty sure the ID is OK.
