i used to own a RTCxTSN hybrid.. im ordern a asain redtai... i was curious if asain redtails and RTCs could mate?? or even the asain and TSN ???
 
to make it clear are you talking about those Hemibagrus wyckioides?

theres few "asian" red tail out there on the market different species and another one looked like a sun cat with red tail I even can't even remember the name of it as I was just looking at the picture last week and talking to someone about it they're now marketing it as asian redtail too
 
to start with the Hemibagrus wyckioides- what is your purpose of thinking about those crosses as I'm seeing crazy hybrid crosses with TSN and RTCs as the hybrids do look drop dead goregous I understand why but I don't see why one wants to cross a ARTC to start with though they're mean buggers.
 
well i saw that they were build kinda the same as a RTC and was jus curious i guess :) lol.. i dunno it would be cool to have somthin not may people do!!
 
lol theres a reason why many people dont keep Hemibagrus wyckioides in the first place
 
im pretty sure u cant and if u could it would be artifiacaly done......... they wouldnt breed normaly i think that RTCXTSN are man made....... i dont agree wit it but some people do but to me it would be more un pure strains in the hobby........ to tell u the truth i think the hybrids are stunning fish but i will never own one........ ARTC are mean i had one that would attack the bag i had some feeders beacuse he didnt want to wait to eat..... he riped a feeder right out of the bag and he was only 10" long....... if u have fish u wont for long..............
 
The ARTC will destroy everything else in the tank. Maybe not right away, but once they start getting bigger they will. They beat on things and when the other fish wears down they start to bite at them. Leave a fish in with them long enough and that fish is in pieces.
