Has anyone ever seen one of these? I have never heard of them or seen one. I would love to see one and I would love to buy one.

Now that would be a big fish. What size tank would you put that in? I had two Emperor ID's at one point and the one grew much faster and eventually ate the other. After 6 months he out grew my 120 gallon.

it would be impossible to cross those 2 fish as an rtc is a pimelodidae and a paroon shark is in the pangasiidae order.

I've heard of these - although it couldn't be proved to be a RTC Paroon hybrid.

I think they may get genetic problems.
Splicing the genes (like Glofish) would have less downfalls and would be much easier.
But...

That takes the surprize out of hybrydising, dosent it?
