What kind of shovelnose is this?

[coolcomfort]

at 5:55 of the video, a shovel nose is shown and it's described as a more rare form of shovel nose that gets really big. It looks slightly different than the ones i've seen, does anyone know which kind this is?

The p. Curruscans it is the largest of the shovelnose. Hard to find small but I think predatory fins has a few right now

It looks like the corruscans indeed, albeit I'd keep in mind that there are corruscans hybrids used in aquaculture per for instance:

Corruscans owners might be getting hooded; TSN x RTC and TSN x Achara catfish hybrid study

Thanks to Dr. H. H. Ng for bringing this up to our attention. Useful and interesting info that goes to show what @wednesday13 has been telling us a while - we may get hybrids where we think we get genuine species... and more: Molecular identification of intergenus crosses involving catfish...

Three more photos of allegedly juvenile corruscans can be found here on the first few pages:

TSNxLei, I think. Could it be P. corruscans?
