im sorry i dont have any pics, but my sister vent to holland and borrowed my camera

Today i bought a fish that followed a delivery to the shop i buy my fish from, the fish was not ordered and they have no clue what it is, or why it came..........

Anyway its a PSeudoplatystoma 0f some sort, its 7-8cm or 3 inches.

is there anything i can look at to decide if its an fasciatum or Tigrinnis, it has dots on the finns and it does not look like it has any "tiger" pattern, it has a darker area following the mouth on the uppside of the head, mayby its to small to id but if you have any clues, plz point out for me what i can look at to decide what it is

cool that it was not one of the most common ones here in sweden.
