Hybrid cats

[FLESHY]

Im aware of how you can artificially condition fish and collect milt and eggs, I'm more interested in who came up with hybridizing two fish from different families. That's pretty crazy.

Anyone ever have an adult niger cat hybrid?

Hard to find info on these guys

Sorry. I answered the best I understood the question.

Throughout history, people have been trying to hybridize various animals, from the same taxonomic family or not but from the same taxonomic order, usually, it appears. The only real success AFAIK has been achieved with species from the same family, best from the same genus: canines, felines, bunnies, poultry, cattle, swine, etc. Ligers, mules are examples.

IIRC what Necro told us, who is much needed here, "successful" (if one can call it that) hybridizations of catfish belonging to different taxonomic families is the first of the kind. That's one major reason Necro's collaborating with Dr. John Lindberg because they think there is some interesting and possibly breakthrough knowledge of the immune system biology issues. These can be useful in understanding and curing/changing human immune system.

Sharing my then 10" Leiarus Pictus/RTC Hybrid

Sweet. You are the only keeper I know of. You had two?

I was just stating that a few close people to me have a problem with them Bc they are hybrids and I just wanted others feedback and care if they had owned them.

So should I assume we are talking either ethics reasons or a taste reason?

The only ones I've ever kept so far have been TSNxRTC and TSNxLei. I don't think you'd be interested in info about them.

I strongly dislike any man-made hybrids for ethics reasons. But being an educational venture and having our fish-keeping hobby and aquaculture as two of several main topics, I have to learn about these so I could lecture and answer questions intelligibly. When I have their exhibits up, I hope to buy some of these little Frankensteins from you and others Thanks, Mike!

Hay Nazi Rodgers I will send you a paroon x Rtc tomorrow with your other stuff haha

I didn't find the paroon X RTC. I hope it wasn't mixed in with the packing materials.

I decided I did not want it to end up in a gas chamber.

If you dont mind me asking what is your ethnicity and background?

I find nothing wrong with hybrids if they don't have any deformities and handicaps. Look at humans I'm quite sure almost no one is a pure background. An easy one look at Americans sorry to say but you're not 100% in sense of genes since you came from Europe and who knows from which parts. Mixing just happens. But If it's deformed and has major health risks I dont like it.

All humans have a 100% pure background: Homo sapiens.

Race has no effect on this. To say humans aren't "pure" because races mix is like saying that just because you mix a Jack Dempsey and an EBJD, somehow each is no longer a Jack.

This is wrong.. all people have a certain percentage of Homo Neandertalensis and so-called Denisova Hominins DNA.
Interestingly enough, aboriginal australians have a much higher percentag of Denisova DNA than western humans, which might explain the immense difference in culture and even appearance to the first white settlers.

Yeah, the smaller one didn't make it coz it was being oust by the current piece. However, the current piece is having some appetite issue

The physical observable differences among groups of humans (hair color and texture, skin color, eye shape and color, height, nose shape, face shape, etc.) represent perhaps 1/10 of 1% of all human genes. Moreover, most of these "differences" evolved over the last 10,000 years. External features are an inaccurate measure of how "mixed" we all are genetically.

Genetic variation is most extreme in older "pure looking" populations as in south western Africa, rather than anywhere else where populations "look mixed."
