Saw this guy at wildlife world zoo this weekend. Looks like a Niger x TSN hybrid but I've never heard of those hybridizing...

TSN x Niger hybrid?
- Thread starter OTp1144
- Start date
Tsnxniger is infact a valid hybrid...man made of course. They hit the streets last spring pretty good and are still available. The fish u pictured is a regular rtcxtsn imo. Farm breeding allows alot of these deformed specimen to make it through. Ive owned dozens of deformed hybrids,rtc and tsn. Very commen in the trade. Spoonbill shaped snouts are ones i see alot. Ive had these cats with missing gill plates, no eyes from birth and crazy skull deformities of all sorts.

Agreed with everything said. Poor fellow has a bashed in nose ,either by smashing into an aquarium wall, or more than likely a deformed face from day one. Oh well, everybody's got to be somebody!
I thought he was adorable! Plus he's in a huge tank now with some massive RTC, payara and arapaima getting fed more than he could ever want.

Yours is a reasonable hypothesis, Heretix but I agree with all Wednesday says, except I've only met with the words "duck bill" to describe this genetic deformity. But let it be spoonbill 
ive heard/used the term "duckbill" many times also lol, same difference, nice to know were on the same page... id imagine some wild specimen exhibit the same deformities but alot fewer.Yours is a reasonable hypothesis, Heretix but I agree with all Wednesday says, except I've only met with the words "duck bill" to describe this genetic deformity.
