hope you have a huge tank.....

did you see the size?

unless there's a typo; this beastie will grow to 1 and a half times the size of an adult Tiger Shovelnose!

6 feet..............

It's not my problem luckily lol. The photo was taken in a shop a few months ago but I was being rushed by a friend who had seen enough so I never thought to look at the name. Every now and then I have spent a while trying to I D it but with no luck until joining here.
It does look a nice fish though if it could be housed properly.
