The marmoratus hybrids mostly died somewhat mysteriously if I remember correctly. Necro's is the only one I recall surviving past juvie stage. Hopefully your remaining pictus will last. I'm hoping the pictus cross turns out to be more durable than the marmoratus.

Thanks, Houie. My thoughts too and hence, my interest. (Houie is speaking of Leiarius marmoratus x RTC; don't confuse with TSN x L. marmoratus which is as viable as TSN x RTC).

Necro's RTC x marmoratus hybrid is among the nicest looking cats I've ever seen. I see it pretty regularly on google image searches and always wish they were still available, and that I had some growout space.

I don't share in the tenderness of your feeling :) but they do have my interest, as stated :)

Ya that sucks. I totally wish I could buy 1 but each of them grow pretty big and fast and move a lot so I can only imagine that a hybrid would be the same. At least my goonches are extremely slow growers and pretty lazy so they would actually be fine in much smaller tanks.

According to Oddball, his Niger x TSN was a very slow growing fish. He had it from 2" to 8" and then sold it to someone on AP. Contact was lost when the site folded.

I basically only looked at posts that had the name in the title. I looked at two different hybrid threads, but found little. Only one that was again a juvenile. Very cool to see one grow to full size!

Hopefully we will have a similar thread here on MFK several years down the road.

Here's some more info from planetcatfish: http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=4475
 
Few months back. . .



Current at 14" :nilly:



Feeding well tonight :headbang2

X fingers he doesn't throw out his food like he has been doing for the past 2 attempts :(

I feed tilapia fillets btw and he loves pellets of any sort :clap

Thanks, FLESHY. I have just started a thread on PCF trying to see who else thinks #2 and #5 are the "same" hybrid... http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=40302

If you will, post your (grounded) opinions, please.

Not sure it they are the same, the slop of the head is different besides the obvious pattern and pigment, but that dose not mean much as #5 could be stressed
