Exactly. Lots more here: https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/foru ... ns.564171/

It is a man made fish for food in South America and part of the underperforming culls is directed into the ornamental fish trade.

It's misleadingly marketed as spotted tiger shovelnose catfish, the name which should be reserved for P. corruscans.

There are 9 pages currently in the thread featuring photos of my adults and the fish of other peers. Please, take a look at the whole thread.

For instance, post mortem pics of my biggest adult at 30" are on page 8.
