Just after I sent this post I rememberd it should have gone in the Hybrid forum.
But I would say it's still an Oddball.

not an oddball; just "other catfish"

Are we sure that these animals are actually a hybrid? I remember reading somewhere that they are not hybrids, merely an unidentified catfish resembling both those species.

They are a man made hybrid through hormonal injections.

It was created in an attempt to get a faster growing large food fish for the region.
