Create your own hybrid....

[demjor19]

I thought it would be fun to see what kind of fish people would hybridize if you could mix any species together. This is just for fun, so anything goes, practicality doesnt matter. Pictures/drawings make this much more interesting and it can be for personality or looks, or both!! Here is one of mine: My 13" Black Rhom mixed with my 8.5" Front

Nice Rhomtosa! How big? LOL.

[demjor19]

Nice Rhomtosa! How big? LOL.

lol Well, He's about 11" since that is about half way between 8 and 13.

Both my Rhom and Front are very layed back so I think this guy would be a great fish to sit back and relax watching.

When and where are you going to get one or two of those beast?;)

[rallysman]

Here's mine.

It's a Doscar or an Oscog......can't remember which.

[Polypterus]

I know where and when is just a matter of having enough time free......
These are popping up as naturally reproducing in a specific locality.

No worries Jordan I'll surely tell you when we go after these ;)

Naturally occurring hybrids?

[Polypterus]

Naturally occurring hybrids?
Yes these are naturally occurring..At one time they where tossed around to be an Eighth species of gar but they are in fact a hybrid.

Natural occurring hybrids of many fish are actually not that rare. Some are just much more spectacular than others.

[demjor19]

Yeah, but do you have one of these??

My newest creation: The Garowana

That's awesome, I'm going to bookmark this thread. I always imagined that there were "wild" hybrids, but could never find anything that was.

Thanks for sharing!!

There are bunches of them actually...
These pics show what very well was a Shortnosed X Longnosed hybrid. Someone I do know that has one has confirmed it but I still call it suspected..

This fish is affectionately know as Lepisosteus medius or the Medium nosed gar in our circles...

Tiger Muskies are a cross between Northern Pike and Muskellunge, I believe they do cross on occasion in the wild.

[mike dunagan]

my fav would be a cross of anything and a maid... that way they can clean the tank and the house... I though getting married meant less cleaning, not more...

[demjor19]

So when are we having a mini CLO convention??

[PoopSmart]

I want a garowana

Tiger Muskies are a cross between Northern Pike and Muskellunge, I believe they do cross on occasion in the wild.

Just a small bit of info from http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/education/tigermuskie/tigermuskie.html

"The tiger muskie is a sterile hybrid cross between the muskellunge and the northern pike. The hybrid gets its name from its distinct, dark vertical bars, although some large individuals display very little barring. Whereas the hybrid can occur in the wild where both species coexist, the vast majority of hybrids are produced in the hatchery. The female muskie is usually preferred due to its greater egg production than the female northern pike. However, the northern pike and muskellunge cross is often used when suitable numbers of female muskie are not available. Maryland obtains its tiger muskie fingerlings from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission in exchange for fingerling striped bass."

nobody else cleans my tanks...but breading a fish to clean the house would be great:D

[Polypterus]

what is the suspected adult size of the medium nose?

Seems to be 2 1/2 to 3 foot....

So when are we having a mini CLO convention??

Likely this October sometime. Your fish will be ready for pick up then as well...

I would like to see Clown Loach x TSN or RTC. A slightly flattened, fattened, fast growing orange and black fish with subocular spines and a puppydog demeanor. Imagine a school of 10 of those.
