damnnnn
Right now they are in 1000 liters tank, temporary home, with 2 gigas (2 tsn and 2 rtc)
they are small, not very sure about their size (last time I measured then tsn has about 9" and the rtcs 10").
I really like this hybrid, and to find some around here is very rare, very very rare. And this fishes comes from here. well, patience......
BTW, thanks guys for helping out
tnx for the comments guys. He's probably somewhat older than 4 years now. I've had him for about 2 yrs 8 months now. Not sure how old he was when I got him. He was 22" and was owned by a mfkr so I'm thinking he was a year old or a little more when I got him. Hopefully within the next year my rtc and mrtc can go in with him. I'll have to get some new pics when I am back from work next time. May not be too much longer and my job might just be as a game warden.
As for breeding them. If you can get your hands on the right chemicals and have a few grand to spend on tanks and equipment for artificially bringing the fish into producing milt and eggs, and then milking them, then and only then you might be able to make this hybrid. Otherwise not going to happen naturally. Could happen on accident if you could get a pair of rtc and a pair of tsn to breed simultaneously very close to each other and their batches were cross contaminated.

O.K.! at-least somebody share my addiction! adequate name. btw, i saw your avatar photo at a fish auction at the Brooklyn Aquarium, on a slide-show. I didn't hear what they were saying about you guys, I was anticipating the proceedings, but I'm sure I seen itcatfishlover106;1868990;1868990 said:
lol holy crap i didn't i was that noticed around...
They are a cool little fish, just wish it didn't hide most of the time. I guess eventually it will outgrow the hiding spots.
mines always on the prowl itself...lol never stoping until it gets its fill then its stay's in one spot...but once the lights go out then its off around the tank again thinking he could fit more food in his belly lol
