Hybrid catfish pics!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They are more than likely test tube. I have heard rumors that they were bread as food fish, and that they were produced in labs in japan. Haven't heard or seen any proof of how they are actually made. I would imagine that like other hybrids they take sperm from the male of one species and inject the females of the other to make them come in to estrus to produce and release eggs. Once the eggs are released they fertilize them with the previously captured sperm of the other species. Hope that helps, but there is still much debate on these fish. Guess there's one way to find out. Try and make a hybrid yourself! lol. Tell us if you are successful!
 
I know there are some who are oppossed to hybrids...

That TSN X RTC mix is one awesome combo.

If only I had the tank space to spare.
 
Nice cats guys :thumbsup:
 
Yeah, I can't really see how they are opposed to hybrids. I listed why I think that they are wrong in thier opposition somewhere in the catfish forum. Their arguments just don't make any sense to me. Oh, well, thanks for the great compliments. I love my hybrids and wouldn't give them up for any other fish.

To do that just click new reply in the bottom left hand corner of this forum. It should have a link bellow the message box that says manage attachements or add attachments. Click on that and click browse to search your computer for the pics you want and upload them. After that click to post reply and they should show up in this forum.
 
Great thread!!!

The RTC X TSN is one hybrid that I personally think looks better that its parents.
 
I have had a RTCxTSC for almost 10 months and it is only about 8-9" it eats fine and the water is good. if i had a pure RTC or a TSC for this long it would probably be much larger right? has anyone else experienced this? i have heard that this hybrid might actually be a dwarf, which is less common than hybrid turning out to be giants. Although it might just be my particular catfish.
