isnt' interbreeding what dictates species? If they are classified as seperate species, then it must be impossible to interbreed?
Jardini/Asian Hybrid?

When it comes to nature, we must stop using the word 'impossible'. Nature will find a way to fill a niche even if it means inter-breeding. For the most part though, any interbreeding will be unsuccessful and extinction of a species within a given altered niche (climate change, geological alteration, etc.) will occur.
I agree I think the outcome would not be very appealing. I agree with the rest about the interbreeding as well although it would not be impossible. Also as pointed out it does not have market acceptance here in the east.
No. The species would have to be removed from listing, i.e., "delisted" similar to what's being proposed for the bald eagle, under the federal Endangered Species Act, which is unlikely without some sort of improvement in wild populations.wizzin;555999; said:

Sorry I didn't realise the question was directed at me. Like I said I was told my the fishery guys locally. If indeed there is anymore news, I will be sure to pass it along. It would be a great day for u guys at the states.

i would agree. with the right technique i think it might just be possible, lions and tigers and leopards all from the same genus have been recorded to have cross bred. saying its impossible is really thinking limitedly. what i would rather see though is a cross between a super red arowana and a giant south american silver arowana, though not the same genus its worth dreaming about
