Hybrid catfish pics!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You may be right, but if you are then your hybrid will look totally different than ours. Hybrids are strange in that you have to cross the two different species according to their sex also in order to get the hybrid vigor you hear everyone talking about. I am almost certain that the female needs to be the dominant species of the 2. If you mix it the other way you get the total opposite effect. You get a dwarfed hybrid that is prone to desieses, and infection because it has a reduce immune system. If bred right it will be totally dominant with a strong immune system, and will grow to astonishing sizes at record speed. You must remember that will all animals rare genetic mutations happen in fish also, Like dwarfism, or albinoism. Hope this sheds a little light.
Just so that everyone knows I will be updating this thread very soon when I get my new internet connection up and running hopefully within a week. I look forward to showing my fish progress and my new updates to my pond.

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.

Have you checked with George at Sharkaquarium for the planiceps? I asked him about a Planiceps and he said he could get them as I'm wanting one also, last time I talked to him was about 2 weeks ago and it was right before he was leaving to Venezuela on a trip so I'm going to email him again soon and see if he can get them sometime soon. I'll keep ya posted ~Trent
