Is my tiger shovel nose a dwarf?

I agree yellowing could suggest liverproblems. And Would also be why a fish is stunned.

What could cause this in fish? And he seems very active bright and healthy...

Well, inside gill curl is an interesting thought, a first for me. But I trust you, if you say it has no GC, neither out nor in. Like you said, perhaps his gill plate is too short but what I was originally saying is that there is a soft flap at the end of the gill cover which appears to be completely missing on the left of the fish. What's the right like?
OP pic 1 - no flap. Pic 2 - there is something sticking out that was not in pic 1. Perhaps that's what led Monsterminis to think an inside GC?
Yellow is unusual in natural coloration of TSNs but perhaps not impossible. RTCs don't have any yellow but once in a while one sees an RTC with yellow on their white flanks/stripes. Some say these can be urine stains or some such. I doubt it. Perhaps the diet.
Liver problems in humans (and fish?) lead to yellowing - the deposition of bilirubin pigment, if not mistaken.
As for the ID - you seem to want to start a thread, so go ahead, let's see what the community says.

Yes I see what you mean after looking at the pic but it is there and looks perfectly fine it just blended in very well in the photos lol
I was looking for info on kidney problems on fish and found a lot about it but nothing explaining the yellow? I'm not saying its definitely not that so I cramming as many pellets as poss in his food now.
ID thread started so I will update if anyone comments.
Thanks for your help

So the gill flaps are there on both sides. Will chalk it up to weird coloration, morphology, and optical effect then.
I think it was the liver that was mentioned, not kidneys. IDK anything about either anyway.

Yes they look complete and healthy on both sides, and yes it was the liver sorry, I would say it was more a strange coloration than something wrong but he does appear to be growing slightly slower than normal so we will see...

i got my tsn at 7 inches and 4 months later he was 9. then i powerfed him and he grew 14 inches in like 2 months. unfortunately i had to give him away to make rrom for my arowana
x2 on the pic angle ect may being the issue, gill curl is hard to see even in person.. but I will say my TSN has and still does get a beautiful golden color across his sides and always has. curiouse as to what your water perameters are? I have noticed no other signs of Jaundice, so never even thought that. the colors are to uniform imo for it. Mine grows like a weed.
