That may be true, but on what basis do you think it is P. corruscans rather than P. tigrinum?

Errrr... its got spots not stripes

Fair enough. I based my opinion on picture 11 of P. tigrinum in the Cat-eLog (juvenile). Too bad there isn't a young P. corruscans in the Cat-eLog. Anyway, it is a TSN

I would agree that this definitely, at least on pattern, resembles a TSN juvenille. Do the black and white stripes change to the adult vertical barring or are there color variations in this fish?

This may probably cause unwanted confusion. What I meant is:
it is A tiger shovelnose, whether corruscans, tigrinum or fasciatum. I didn't realize that the common name TSN is only used for tigrinum and fasciatum and not for corruscans....
Sorry about that.

I believe the only true TSN is the tigrinum ... the fasciatum is called a False tiger shovelnose. The corruscans usualy isn't seen.
Big big difference in size between these 3 types. Tigrinums don't grow that big (90cm would be a big one) compared to fasciatums (120cm but heavy body) which are smaller then corruscans which grow really really big ...like 150cm+ foot and 40kgs.
None of them are really tank fish anyhow best kept in ponds or tubs.
